SUMMER CAMP CHILDCARE

Call 4024842501 or email Breanna, our Summer Camp Coordinator, to learn more about our summer childcare program, and info and hourly, daily, and weekly rates.
We provide a family atmosphere, where older and younger children have opportunities to interact, and we also provide unique activities specially designed for our preschoolers.
We cook and serve lunch on site, and lunch is included in the cost of summer camp.
The summer will start off with campers “Gone Camping” as they get their hands dirty learning about all things nature with a visit to Schramm Park. After learning about the creepy crawlies, we explore the animal kindom with a look into the life of a zookeeper, animal themed crafts, and a visit from Wildlife Encounters (tentative).

Campers will stay active during their sports week by taking a gymnastics class as well as a visit to MyGym. We will create a paper plate tennis game as well as compete against other campers in a week full of games!
Grab your lab coat as we learn from Bill Nye and other scientists throughout the week completing experiments and a visit to the Children’s Museum.
Getting Hungry? No worries! Kids will dive into their culinary creativity as they make personal pizzas. The younger campers will finally learn what really happens when you give a mouse a cookie!
To avoid feeling stuck in those mid-summer blues, campers will grab their passports and travel around the world learning about differnt cultures, tasting new foods, and learning phrases in other languages. Campers will get their magnifying glass ready as they become a secret spy for a week of scavenger hunts, breaking codes, and a trip to Laser Tag (tentative).
We will enjoy a Lincoln favorite as we spend a week “on the farm” at the Lancaster Conunty Fair.
We will cool off at the end of the summer learning about the animals that swim under the sea, create ocean slime, and have the chance to show off your own swimming abilities at the pool.
We will wrap up summer camp seeing what talent lies within our campers as Hollywood Stars. We will learn about making a movie and campers will have the opportunity to film their own commerical!
