What Makes Our Summer Camp Stand Out?

Our day camp program is structured to keep children engaged and active throughout the summer. We believe summer camps should be a place where kids can learn new skills, make friends, and create lasting memories. With a variety of low-cost programs available, we aim to make our camp accessible to all families. Our experienced staff is dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where children can feel comfortable and excited to participate in all the activities we offer.

Benefits of Summer Camp for Children

Summer camp preschool and summer camp kindergarten programs offer children a playful way to keep learning through consistent routines, hands-on activities, and group experiences that support growth in language, storytelling, visual arts, and social development — all while having fun on the playground and building confidence through meaningful moments with friends.

Social Skills Development

Children thrive in social environments where boundaries feel clear and support feels consistent. Our summer camp preschool programs introduce active play, group games, and classroom discussions that guide children as they grow into confident communicators. Through activities that involve taking turns, sharing, and managing small conflicts, children explore empathy and teamwork with gentle teacher support. Storytelling and visual arts also play an important role in helping children express ideas and build vocabulary through conversation. These experiences naturally strengthen early language skills while encouraging friendships to blossom.

Self Respect and Character Building

Summer day camp allows children to build important character traits like responsibility, resourcefulness, and resilience through everyday moments. Cleaning up, helping classmates, or navigating transitions teaches them to take initiative and recover gracefully from minor setbacks. Teachers offer gentle guidance, but the structure gives children room to solve problems and take ownership of their actions. As they learn to navigate challenges and contribute to their camp community, they begin to feel more capable and confident in themselves.

Community Living

Summer programs for Pre-K children introduce the kind of community atmosphere where caring, fairness, and belonging come to life through everyday experiences. Children learn to recognize fairness during games, practice compassion through shared activities, and witness citizenship in small acts like helping a friend or inviting others to join in. Teachers model kindness and use simple conversations to highlight what it means to be thoughtful and respectful. These group dynamics help children feel connected, valued, and more aware of how their actions affect others, which supports a strong sense of community and inclusion.

Personal Competencies

Summer camp offers preschool and kindergarten learners the space to explore identity, value their ideas, and grow their confidence through expressive activities. Storytelling, visual arts, language play, and group challenges all encourage self-expression and discovery. When children participate in activities that reflect their interests or celebrate their imagination, they begin to form a clearer picture of who they are. This sense of belonging and pride grows stronger as they try new skills and accomplish small tasks, helping them build self-worth, self-esteem, and lasting self-respect.

Emotional Development

Emotional growth becomes more natural when children feel supported, and our summer preschool programs create an environment where feelings are acknowledged with care. Through books, puppetry, and daily chats, children begin to name emotions and understand how they relate to behavior. Teachers help them navigate excitement, frustration, sadness, and joy without judgment, using relatable examples and comforting routines. During quiet play, group discussions, or even laughter on the playground, each child learns how to manage big feelings while knowing they’re heard and accepted for who they are.

Tailored Activities for Each Age Group

We understand that children of different ages have varying interests and abilities. That’s why our summer camp features activities customized for each age group. From small infants to children 12 years of age, we have a program that will keep them engaged and excited.

Physical Activities

Physical activity is an essential part of our summer camp program. We offer a range of sports and outdoor games that help children stay active and healthy. From soccer and basketball to swimming and hiking, our campers engage in fitness activities that promote physical health and teamwork. These activities not only improve physical health but also teach children the value of cooperation and perseverance.

Our camp also features daily exercise routines and fun fitness challenges to keep kids moving. These activities are enjoyable and motivating, so children look forward to their time at camp. By participating in physical activities, campers develop a love for fitness that can last a lifetime.

Creative Activities

Creativity is a vital part of child development, and our camp provides plenty of opportunities for artistic expression. We offer a variety of creative activities, including arts and crafts, music, and drama. These activities allow children to explore their imaginations and express themselves in unique ways.

Our art activities include projects such as painting, sculpting, and collage-making. Music sessions involve singing, instrument playing, and rhythm games, while drama sessions encourage children to act out stories and create their own plays. These creative activities help campers develop fine motor skills, improve concentration, and boost self-esteem.

Educational Activities

Learning doesn’t stop during the summer at Right Steps®. Our camp incorporates educational activities that are both fun and informative. We offer science experiments, nature exploration, and reading sessions that keep children’s minds active and engaged.

Our science experiments spark curiosity and encourage critical thinking. Nature exploration activities teach children about the environment and the importance of conservation. Reading sessions provide a quiet time for campers to enjoy books and improve their literacy skills. These educational activities allow children to continue to learn and grow even during the summer months.

Summer Camp Safety Measures

Safety is our top priority at Right Steps®. We have implemented comprehensive safety measures, guaranteeing that all campers are protected while enjoying their summer camp experience.

Safety Protocols

Our safety protocols help prevent accidents and create a secure environment for all children. These include regular safety drills, thorough equipment checks, and strict supervision of all activities. We also provide safety training for our staff to handle any potential issues effectively.

In addition, we enforce strict hygiene practices to maintain a clean and healthy camp environment. This includes regular handwashing, sanitizing equipment, and encouraging good personal hygiene among campers. Our goal is to create a safe and healthy space where children can enjoy their summer activities without worry.

Strict Staff-To-Child Ratio

We maintain a strict staff-to-child ratio to ensure that each child receives the attention and care they need. Our staff members are highly trained and experienced in working with children, and this ratio allows them to provide personalized attention to each camper.

This ratio also enables our staff to closely monitor all activities and respond quickly to any issues that may arise. With a low staff-to-child ratio, every child remains safe, happy, and engaged throughout their time at camp.

Measures in Place for Emergencies

We have comprehensive emergency procedures in place to handle any unexpected situations. Our staff is trained in first aid and CPR, and we have emergency supplies readily available. We also have clear communication protocols to quickly notify parents in the event of an emergency.

In addition, we conduct regular safety drills to ensure that both staff and campers are prepared for any emergency. These drills help children understand what to do in case of an emergency so everyone remains calm and safe.

Organic Meals and Snacks

Nutrition is a key part of our philosophy. We provide organic meals and snacks to keep campers fueled and healthy throughout the day. Our meals are carefully planned to ensure they are both nutritious and delicious. We believe that healthy eating habits start early, and we encourage children to enjoy a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Our meals are free from artificial additives and preservatives, ensuring children receive wholesome, natural food.

In addition to our nutritious meals, we also allow campers to bring their own snacks. This gives children the comfort of having familiar foods from home while also providing the opportunity to try new and healthy options at camp.

Above all, we adamantly adhere to allergies and dietary restrictions. Whether your child has a severe dairy allergy or your family has cultural dietary guidelines, we make sure that all campers are accommodated.
