What are PD day camps like?


We start our camps with fun icebreakers so kids can meet each other and their leaders. A day at our camps is filled with activities that will help your child learn more about themselves, others and the world around them. 

Drop-off is at the same location each morning at 9 a.m. Breaks are offered throughout the day to recharge, have lunch or eat snacks. Participants must be picked up by 4 p.m. each day. Late pickups may be charged a late pickup fee. If you will be late, call 311 to be transferred to the facility to inform day camp staff.
