Our recipe for a great summer camp experience is...

What is Summer Adventure Camp?

We are proud to offer a well-rounded summer camp, one in which your child will experience several excursions a week, educational fun, healthy meals and snacks. We have packed each day with many opportunities to grow physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Our passion for fun and laughter keeps our students coming back.

How long is camp?

Each of our camps is designed as a week long adventure with its own unique theme, activities and field trips.  Campers can pick the session(s) they would like to camp-out with us, or they can stay for the entire summer!

What type of experience do the teachers have?

Our summer program is highly successful because of our quality staff. Our staff is selected because of their energetic, outgoing, and fun-loving personalities, their ability to positively guide young children, and their desire to make a difference! Staff members are required to have completed a School-Age Certification course or equivalent and a S.A.C. training program. Based on this training and our stringent screening process, we are happy to say we have the best staff you could ever want for your child!

What do I need to know about Field Trips?

You will receive monthly field trip calendars for the summer. Please note these calendars will be subject to change throughout the summer and we will keep you posted of any changes. We ask children to be here at least 15 minutes prior to departure. For your convenience, the monthly calendars will include departure and return times. Field trips are not optional unless your child is being picked up early. If your child will not be going on a specific field trip because you are picking them up early, be sure to let the office know (preferably in writing) and we will keep them at Junction Square. Field trips are staffed with a lower teacher-to-child ratio in order to maintain a safe environment.

What should my child(ren) wear on Field Trip days?

 Jerseys are provided by Kids Junction. Each Summer Adventure Camper is required to wear a Summer Adventure jersey on field trips. The jersey remains at Kids Junction and will be washed after each use.

What should my child(ren) bring and/or wear to camp?

Due to the variety of events happening throughout our day we ask that the children wear athletic shoes while they are with us. Please be sure to label everything that your child brings with him/her. (i.e. coats, books, ball gloves, etc.) All articles brought to the center are your child’s responsibility.

How do I check-in & check-out my child(ren)?

Our facility uses a secured code-access entry system for check-in and check-out procedures which ensures a safe environment for your child. Between 6:00 - 6:30am your child should be brought to Kids Junction preschool office each morning by a responsible person. After 6:30am check your child(ren) in at the school age office before dropping them off with their class. Each night check them out at the front desk before you take them home.

What time does Kids Junction close?

Junction Square closes at 6:00pm. If you cannot be here by that time, please make arrangements to have your child(ren) picked up by another responsible person. Forms are available at the office to inform us of an alternate pick-up person. (Please tell them they will need to bring identification.) There is a late charge of $5.00 for the first five minutes after 6:00pm and $1.00 per minute after that. The late charge will automatically be billed to your account.

What about special Health concerns?

Any restrictions to your child’s activities, due to health reasons, should be noted on the Emergency and Health History Form. If your child will need medication while in our care, please fill out a Medication Form (located in the office) and leave the form and the medication with the office staff. Be sure that all medications are labeled clearly with your child’s name. All medications must come to us in their original containers. At no time should a child have medication with them.

Does Kids Junction offer diversity?

We accept children regardless of age, race, color, national origin, sex, creed, political persuasion, ancestry, or handicapping condition if an opening is available in the requested age group.
