Our Mission

The Love of Learning Summer Camp is a unique camp experience that will foster friendship, learning and fun. Child-centered activities and games are designed to promote mindful living, positive character development, and self motivation. Our trained camp staff demonstrate respectful behavior. Time is allocated for children to initiate their own projects and games. Problem-solving is emphasized as the children interact, building a community where self confidence, curiosity and creativity can thrive. 

The Program

Our Summer Camp program is age-blended (3-6) (6-10) (10-13) and our day begins together. Post morning activity the children are split into groups based on age and gross motor skills. Campers are provided with a variety of activities scheduled weekly (Yoga, Science, Art, Sensory Room, Music, Nature Exploration, Reading or Story Time, Water Play, Sports and Group Games). Additionally up to three times per week campers are given “Choice” classes to sign up for (Creative Writing, Cooking, Drama, Construction, Self Defense, Sewing, Knitting and Creative Crafts).
