Labor Day AdventureCamp
2025-09-01 08:00 - 16:00 | CA
AdventureCamp has been repeatedly voted “Best Camp” in the Easy Reader’s “Best of the Beach” awards for helping kids do what they love—have fun! They don’t realize that the rock climbing, arts and crafts, play structure fun and Sports Court games are developing healthy habits, building self-esteem and teaching social skills—that’s the AdventurePlex way!
Children aged four to five have different interests and needs, so they’ll enjoy camp programming designed just for them. Activities include arts and crafts, music appreciation, age-appropriate physical skill-building activities and social developmental activities, such as cooperative and imaginative games.
CPR and first aid-certified staff lead all camps. Extended care and lunch options are available. Sign up today to ensure a place for your child.
