Specialty Camps at the Complex
Summer camp is a time for amazing experiences, new memories, and days filled with lots of fun and laughter! Through interactions with other children and leadership driven staff, your child has the opportunity to develop lifelong skills that will help them tackle their future!! Our goal over the summer is to ensure child and parent satisfaction. Your child will experience days filled with creativity, learning, active interaction, and friendships.

Change Fee: If you have to change one week to another, your deposit will transfer to the new week; however a $10 change fee will apply to each change made to the camper’s registered schedule.
*Income-based financial assistance is available for families in need. Assistance is granted on the basis of financial need. We use a sliding fee scale based on total household income.
DROP OFF & PICK UP
Parents are required to enter the facility and sign their camper in and out each day. There is no early drop off or late pick up unless advertised for a specific camp. Camps start and end each day on time and campers are expected to be dropped off and picked up on time.

Reading Giraffe Camp
Reading Giraffe Camp (ages 3-7) 9am-12pm
Reading Giraffe is the place where books run wild! Developed by Derick Wilder, a local children’s author and educator, our mission is to create lifelong readers by immersing children in picture books, turning tales into interactive, exciting adventures in learning. Each day includes a host of creative, fun children’s stories, from the classics to current titles to Derick’s own works.
The foundation of each class is a collaborative reading session, where we read with, not to, campers and encourage them to dive into each story. Utilizing The Whole Book Approach, we examine the picture book art and include spelling exercises, vocabulary words, and creative projects. In addition, campers participate in mini-plays, nature walk-n-reads, and fun games, all based on the storylines and characters we read about. Campers should bring a water bottle and a healthy snack, and wear sneakers, sunscreen, and a hat, as each day includes outdoor time and fun activities that get the campers moving.
