Service Description

Join us this summer for playful learning and development of leadership skills! Our junior camp leaders are children entering 6th, 7th or 8th grade who enjoy playing with younger children, want to learn about child development and education, and strengthen their leadership skills through hands on practice and training. Our camps are run and facilitated by certified educators with a passion for playful, child-led learning. Our camp leaders will be supported in actively engaging younger children in developing practical life skills and academics through play, art and tinkering.
