Holiday Camp

VACATION CAMP AGES are Kindergarten through 12 years old
(Come for one or all the days)

Students off on school vacation days have a place they can go to gather with friends and respected staff. Many after-school and summer camp staff returns to join the fun and acquaint themselves with their young buddies.

For the working family, ACT offers an exciting alternative to having a child stay home with little to do during the school recess. For all children, we offer new friends and a place to enjoy their day away from school and home. Join us for a fascinating and fun time at Vacation camp. Enroll for one or all days. New extended hours: as early as 7:55am to as late as 6:00 pm

Cash payment is required if registering five days or less prior to a holiday.
Plans, Schedules and Registration  

OUR CORE PROGRAM Our philosophy stems from our seven core values (fun, child centered, learning, organization, diversity, teamwork and safety ) framing behaviors we exhibit with children, staff and through program activities.

Children have a voice and we listen. Our child-centered approach dictates that we listen and offer options that enhance a child's sense of self and social development. Diverse activities ensure that everyone's experience is different, appropriate and fun. Our year round staff, artist and experts are hired to create specialized learning moments in a safe setting.

All plans are subject to change and may not be listed herein as many are developed with the children in attendance and vary upon attendance. The theme for the day sets the tone for the daily offerings and is expressed in a balanced and organized schedule that includes physical and creative outlets, teamwork, and outdoor fun.

Trip fees are refundable if a trip is canceled or if a child does not go on the trip. Advance ticket purchases are not refundable. Material fee cover transportation costs or special materials needed for theme projects.
