A big adventure with small-camp feeling!
GJK camp provides a safe, nurturing and fun environment with activities designed to enrich the summer in a creative and exciting way. We focus our daily activities on the great outdoors and try to spend as much of the day as possible enjoying the summer weather.
Our camp programs feature a variety of developmentally appropriate activities for each age level, and weekly activities for all ages include sand and water play, large outdoor art experiences, music and non-competitive games and activities.
Our 2018 summer camp will run from June 18 through August 10.
Tiny Adventurers Summer Camp!
We are excited to offer summer camp for our littlest adventurers! Tiny Adventurers is a parent/tot camp for children who are 12 months by September 1, 2017. Our camp program is designed to provide opportunities for a parent/caregiver to interact with one another and to enjoy some fun in the summer sun! Each Wednesday we will meet for a fun-filled "field trip" at places like: Glencoe Beach, Middlefork Savannah, Sunset Park and more!
Time: 9:30am - 11am
Two-year-old Buccaneers
This camp program is designed for children who are ready for independent play. Campers enjoy simple craft projects, outdoor play, and much more!

Parents may choose to register their child(ren) for one or two sections.
Section 1: Monday and Wednesday: 9:15am--10:45am
Section 2: Tuesday and Thursday: 9:15am--10:45am

Four-year-old Pirates
Four and five-year-olds will love this five day a week camp program. Sports, craft projects, water play, and more - all of the excitement you remember from our summer camp days! Each week, children participate in a variety of activities based on a "summer" theme. Field trips are an integral part of the summer camp experience. Pirates meet at the beach one day each week, go to the Highland Park Aquatic Center one day a week, and venture on several other field trips throughout the summer. Field trips are located in close proximity to camp, and drop-off and pick-up are at those locations. Well supervised, small group swim instruction will be a part of the field trip experience. Children bring a sack lunch for this adventure.
Schedule
Monday -- Friday: 9:00am--1:00pm
