day camp
sun's out, fun's out!
Our camp day runs from 9:00AM-4:00PM and is open to campers ages 3-14. Additionally, we offer a half-day option for campers ages 3-5, which runs from 9:00AM-1:00PM.
Campers will have the opportunity to engage in daily physical activity, crafts, sports, swimming, and more, while also participating in teamwork challenges designed to foster personal growth and promote learning through interactive games and activities.
GROUP EXPERIENCE
Your child’s first camp experience is a special one! Camp Woods provides first-time campers with a safe environment to play, grow, develop skills, and have plenty of new experiences! Days are filled with fun and stimulating activities including swim lessons, games, theme days, art projects and special guests—all onsite. Half and full-day options are available.
Note: Children need to be fully potty-trained to attend camp.
Camp is about making new friends, building character, having fun, and becoming part of a community. Campers learn how to navigate decision making and interact positively in social group settings. Programs include swimming, games, sports, arts & crafts, trips, and special guests. Schedules are balanced with both high energy and creative activities, so campers of different interests enjoy their days. Fridays are dedicated to our weekly theme!

Build confidence by gaining independence! Our oldest camp group can expect to participate in all their favorite activities in addition to programs tailored to their teenage minds. As the leaders of Camp Woods, they’ll have a bigger role in our theme days in addition to trips, swimming and all the games that make camp fun. On Mondays, campers will be given the opportunity to decide their group schedule for a portion of the programming.
