2024 Summer Camp!
Summer camp at Where the Wild Things Play promises to be a wild time! We’ve extended our camp pickup time to 4:30pm each afternoon for caregiver convenience, so each week of camp now runs Monday - Thursday from 1PM to 4:30PM daily 🎉
Camps feature daily themed art and science activities, lots of play, and a daily snack. Curated by our education direction who has more than 30 years teaching kids in Kindergarten and First Grade, they offer a great way to blend hands-on learning with easy summer fun.
Camps are created for kids ages 4-8 (minimum age of 4, but some older kids will still enjoy the activities), and take place in a boutique setting with no more than 16 kids per week.
Daily rate is available, must register in advance. Contact us for more information, registration for daily camp cannot be scheduled online.

Week Nine | Best of Summer 2023
As summer comes to an end, we'll bring back all of the fan favorites from this summer! Each day will be packed with art, science, gross motor play, and a fun snack activity! We can't wait to see what the kids love most this summer!
Week Eight | Little Bakers
We couldn't bring summer camp back this year without our Little Bakers series! Prepare to get a little messy as we create tasty confections, and learn cake decorating techniques like piping and fondant molding. The week will end with a cupcake decorating challenge where campers will be encouraged to put to use the skills they've learned throughout the week!
Week Seven | Art + Music
A new camp theme this year, our Art & Music camps will put a fun twist on more traditional camp activities! For the kiddos who love to create, we'll be exploring art and music through various mediums. We'll paint with silly string, squirt guns - even our feet! Each week we'll make an instrument, and try our hands at activities like mosaic making and sculpting!
Week Six | Share the Love
All of the fun of any other camp week - but with a twist! This week, we'll talk about acts of kindness and ways we can give back to our communities. Each day, we'll focus on a new area of service (shelter animals, connecting with senior citizens in our community, taking care of the Earth, and local community heroes). We'll take home Giving Jars that will help us carry these ideas through our lives at home for days and months to come!
Week Five | Crazy Candy
This week, we'll explore the wacky world of all things candy! From sculpting with Starburst and making a Skittles density rainbow, we'll make worms dance and gummy bears grow. We'll even balance our daily snacks out with a bit of Candy of the Earth - fruit :)
Week Four | Animal Exploration: Under the Sea
Our second week of Animal Exploration coincides with the Discovery Channel's Shark Week! We'll learn how sharks float, launch pool noodle sharks, and make origami sharks. But we'll focus on other sea creatures, too - creating ocean slime, jelly fish wind socks, and more!
Week Three | Silly Science
Has your kiddo ever raided the cabinets for vinegar, soap, and anything else they can get their hands on to make an "explosion"? No? Just us? During Silly Science week, our curious friends will have tons of hands on experience making things fizz, fly, and disappear. Calling all budding "Mad Scientists" - this one's for you!
Week Two | Discover the Magic
