Kids on Campus Camps
Kids on Campus offers specialized camps whose structure mirrors a classroom at school. Some camps may experience long periods of either independent and/or group work. Other camps will show a variety of age and camp theme appropriate movies, shows, and/or clips for campers to watch throughout the week of camp. Some camps will show these age-appropriate movies to campers, especially during inclement weather and/or on the last day of camp. Each camp is different, and we encourage you to talk with the camp instructor about the camp’s activities at morning drop-off and/or afternoon pick-up of campers during the summer.
