Junior Enrichment

Junior Enrichment mornings are back and better than ever! Designed just for our Pre-K to 1st grade campers, this program helps young learners strengthen their reading, writing, and math skills in a fun, supportive, and camp-style environment. Whether your child could use a little extra practice or wants a head start on next year’s topics, our experienced instructors will tailor activities to meet each camper’s individual needs. Parents will complete a short survey to share learning goals, and campers will participate in a quick assessment so we can meet them right where they are. It’s the perfect blend of learning and play — helping our youngest campers grow in confidence while still enjoying all the magic of camp!

Please note that to maximize enrichment time, campers may miss some of the daily activities in the Juniors Friends camp schedule.
