CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Little Lions Camp is a kid-centered, fun-based day camp that’s main focus is keeping kids physically and creatively active. Programming features an ever changing combination of classic PE games, backyard favorites, sports, arts and crafts, and special surprises to keep kids happy, active, and engaged. A highly-trained, eclectic staff, that utilizes physical education teachers, athletes, camp veterans, creative types and child care specialists, ensures that games are always changing and that counselors can tailor programming to fit children’s needs and likes.
What is kid-centered programming? Kid-centered programming means our camp staff plans daily programming with the kids likes and dislikes in mind, but daily schedules might change based on camper preference. Wednesday at 2 o’clock might mean a trip to the track, but if the campers vote to play capture the flag for the third day in the row, our counselors are trained to be flexible and receptive. Little Lions Camp is about promoting a safe, welcoming environment that allows kids to participate in the activities that engage them the most.
What is fun-based? Our camp isn’t about shooting the perfect basket or running the fastest in a relay, it’s about being active and trying new things while having fun doing both. Staff will recognize children’s skills and achievements, but our goal is to promote fun and positive relationships.
Little Lions Camp Goals:
Continuous engagement in physical and creative activity
Formation of new friendships and teamwork skills
Having fun!
Staff includes teachers, graduate, undergraduate students, and Varsity student-athletes. Our staff has extensive experience working with children of all ages, both in the camp setting and in the classroom. Little Lions Camp maintains a maximum leader to camper ratio of 1:10 to provide all children with a positive camp experience and the professional attention they deserve. In addition, a certified athletic trainer and aquatic director will be on site.
