Summer Camp
Active Learning Centers offers full day summer camp for children ages 4-13 years old. This is summer camp the way it used to be. Children spend most of their day outside playing. They have the opportunity to go to the swimming pool twice a week and they go on field trips once per week. Every child enrolled in camp will also have the opportunity to take a martial arts class each day at no extra charge. The only things you won’t find at this summer camp are TV’s and video games…this is Active Learning Center!
Each week has a different theme so the children never get bored. All activities that week will center around the theme.
(Each of our Centers has a different age minimum for the pool and field trips – so please call for details.)
This is the 2012 Schedule:
