IS THERE A SIBLING DISCOUNT IF I REGISTER MULTIPLE KIDS?
No, we do not offer a sibling discount. All kids will be charged the same price per child, regardless of how many kids are registered together from the same family.
WHAT'S THE AGE RANGE FOR KIDS TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR CAMPS?
Our programs are typically designed for kids 4-10. Most kids who attend are between the ages of 4-8. We've had older kids attend, as old as 12, though it's usually because they have a younger sibling that is also attending.
Some camps have more younger kids (4-6), while others have more older kids (7-10). It all depends on who signs up for a particular camp. We always encourage kids to be signed up with their friends and/or siblings, so they know at least 1 other kid in the camp.
