Time: 9am-5:30pm Days: M-F Fee: $105 No Camp: *7/4Early Risers Early Drop Off: 7:30am-9am, $20/wk

Structure & VarietyWe include a variety of activities to keep young minds and bodies active and challenged. Free choice and relaxation time provides a chance to enjoy low-key activities between more in-depth, structured projects and games. All children are encouraged to participate, but never forced. Field trips to natural areas, recreation sites, and cultural centers are fun learning experiences. We create an environment that is structured and supportive, but also fun and flexible.

Does your workday start before our program begins? Drop off the kids for

informal recreational activities so you’re on time! Read books, play games, develop new

skills & shoot hoop in a safe & positive environment!

Early Risers

We spend our days engaged in active, creative, and social activities that involve very little or no screen time.
