Why this Camp is different.
Most camps are loud, crowded, and screen-filled. Ours is intentionally the opposite. We run from a private home in the neighborhood, which means small groups, a calm and safe environment, and the freedom to spend real time outdoors every single day. Every child gets personal attention. Every week is designed to build real skills, real confidence, and real friendships.
This is the kind of summer you'll hear about all year.
WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING…
Our daughter and her friends absolutely love Claudia's day-off camps! She always has a great time and looks forward to going again. One of her favorite parts is getting to make different foods from scratch (tortillas, pasta, and more!) - such a unique and special experience for her. We also love that the day always incorporates outside time for the kids. Claudia is wonderful and easy to communicate with, and we love having such a fun, reliable option for days when our daughter's school is closed. We always know that she will be well cared for, and come home with new and fun experiences! Dara K. - CommuniKids
“My daughter loves this camp! Her favorite activity is baking. She’s a picky eater, so I was amazed when she came home exclaiming that she now loves fresh basil with her pasta. I really appreciate the camp’s focus on healthy eating, for example making pasta from scratch together, which provides the kids with a unique and memorable hands-on experience.

“Frankie loves the cooking delicious food with fresh ingredients and with independence. She also loves the outdoor exploration and the games the kids come up with indoors (no screens involved!!)”. Aviva J. - Oyster-Adams Bilingual School
