Summer of Wonder

At Active Learning Centers, we do 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. They go on field trips once a week and play at a local park at least once a week.

​

Our summer camp was born out of our martial arts program. Parents kept asking: "Will you take my child for the summer? I want them to have more of this structure and fun."  So we did. The next year it grew. The year after that it grew some more. Eventually, we began to offer full year care… and the rest is history.

​

Still, we do summer camp all out. Every child enrolled in summer camp will also have the opportunity to take martial arts classes twice a week 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 Centers. We mean the “active” part!

WE PARTICIPATE IN TITLE 20 FUNDING.  PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION!

What makes us different?

​

  • Each week has a different theme (see schedule below). The activities of the week match the theme and are designed to teach, encourage, and to help develop a child’s social/emotional skills.

  • Pool time. We’ll send them home nice and tired. But no reason to worry about safety. We have an excellent staff-to-child ratio that exceeds state requirements… we even send along our own life guard!

  • Safety is paramount. Every time we leave the center we utilize our off-site safety protocols and we put the kids in color-coded shirts.

  • Martial arts. Our unique blend of all the positive traits that martial arts encourages makes this a one-of-a-kind program.

  • From listening skills to problem solving, and courage to communication, this will be the most beneficial and fun camp you’ll ever find. All activities that week, will help turn your child into a strong and successful leader.
