Mini-Camps

Want to get your kids outside over the upcoming breaks? Then please join us!
We try to offer these 4-hour camps throughout the school year, usually when school is not in session for a week or more. Below are the details, for anyone who may be interested. Our Mini-Camps are also a perfect trial for those
new to the program, before signing up for our After-School Program or
Summer EDventure Camp.

• The camp will be outdoors (rain, snow or shine) and we will hand pick activities from among a list of our all-time favorites. That should get us climbing on Bonfire Rock (the kids know what that means!), getting into the woods and exploring all of our favorite areas of the park. If there is snow (and enough of it), we will take full advantage, including sledding! Though the goal is to remain outside at all times, we usually have an indoor back-up plan, if necessary and when possible.
• While we do not have any scheduled in the immediate future, we may have availability at different times of the year, if anyone is interested in organizing one. These are open to girls & boys, ages 5-12 ("Mini-Camp" is a shorter time frame than our summer camp, not for younger kids only).
• We will meet at the SE corner of 81st Street & Central Park West at 9:00 a.m. This park entrance is called Hunters' Gate and just inside of it is a little grassy area, where we will gather each day. We will return your child to the same spot at 1:00 p.m.
• Please note: The location is not set in stone. If most from the group are closer to another area of the park, we may be able to accommodate that, but this spot is the best option for what we plan to do.
• Not sure what to wear? Just check here.
• Besides dressing appropriately for the weather, you really only need to send along a packed lunch and a water bottle with your child. For the protection of those who may need it, no one is permitted to bring anything with peanuts or nuts of any kind.
• The cost of the program is $495 for the week or $110/child/day. The minimum number of participants is 5 and the maximum is 21. Signing up for an entire week is not required, as long as we have at least 5 participants enrolled each day. However, joining for the whole week ensures the maximum amount of fun!
• When these are offered, registration will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis. To pre-register, just e-mail Mike to reserve your spot. After that, please complete the online registration form (link below) and submit payment (once the payment e-mail goes out) to secure your child's enrollment. Registration is not official until the form and full payment are received.
• Please note: Anyone who has been in the program this school year and has filled out our form already DOES NOT NEED TO FILL OUT ANOTHER FORM.
