Scamper Camp

From the get-go, your scamper will be safe, supported and having age-specific fun rooted in wonder, imagination & story! Our goal during this Monday to Wednesday experience is to help your Scamper transition from parent-supported fun to independent, explorative and thoughtful adventure. 

In Scamper-tailored program blocks (just 45 minutes compared to the standard 1-2 hours for kids camp), Scampers will enjoy activities that get their imaginations racing! With each day following a new theme—from “Animals Wild!” to “The Big & The Small”, Scampers will explore camp, go on adventures, and engage through story, connection and time spent in nature. Starting each day in Craigcroft- the Scamper Camp “Home Base”, the mornings will begin with a story to kick off the day’s theme. This leads into arts & crafts and helps shape their daily adventure to different areas of camp for brand-new activities ranging from building fairy-houses and forest and beach exploration to baking cookies, singing songs, waterfront play and more!

Scampers will also be offered healthy snacks more frequently and have access to more “BOB” (“Bodies on Bunks”) time to rest and recharge. For kids who prefer not to nap during this time, we’ll provide quiet story and craft time in the shade. Scampers are also integrated on occasion with the big kids’ camp! They will share meal times, morning circle programming and some other spaces with campers ages 8-15. Since scampers retire to bed earlier than the ‘big kids’, they will also have their own special campfire in the evenings.
