Junior Day Camp – Full Day – Palisades

Overview

Our Junior Day Camp will excite your child’s imagination through hands-on activities in art, music and sensory play. This program gives younger children the perfect opportunity to grow their listening and transition skills, as well as practice independence within our lively camp atmosphere. Our story-based approach invites active, thoughtful play as campers fully immerse themselves in the theme of the week, from decorations to costumes to crafts. Lots of outdoor time and perennial favorites such as story time and group games round off this wonderful first-camp experience. We make the transition to camp easy on parents as well, with our best-in-class staff and easy carpool drop off!

Swim

Weekly Themes

Incredible Imaginations

Campers will be asked to think out of the box this week to help Gomer discover what lies within our imagination. They will meet an inventor who has lost their imagination and needs their help. They will use creative thinking and ask “What If” questions to explore and flex their incredible imaginations! They will watch their “ideas” grow and grow through an optimistic lens while they open their eyes and minds to new possibilities!

Community Yelpers

Whenever there is trouble, Headfirst campers will be there on the double! And there certainly is a lot of mischief going on this week at camp. As campers learn about the community helpers that keep our homes safe and healthy–from police officers to fire fighters, doctors to constructions workers, they’ll work to become their personal best and solve the mission of a lifetime. No problem’s too big and no camper’s too small for this woof of a good time!

Gomer on the Go

Gomer’s stuck on Earth with no way to get back to Gomeria. Join us as we explore all types of transportation and help our dear friend Gomer find his way back home. We are going to need lots of determination to create a way for Gomer to get back to Gomeria.

Moonlight Magic

Oh no! Our mascot, Gomer, is afraid of the dark. Join us as we embark on a moonlit journey, using our night goggles, to help Gomer realize the dark isn’t so bad after all. Once the sun sets, the magic begins! Campers will investigate the joy of night, including nocturnal animals, the moon and stars which all come out to play once darkness falls.

Headfirst Heroes

For years, two superhero trainers known as “Hope” and “Action” have worked together to protect Headfirstopolis. So when the unthinkable happens and super villains infiltrate our camp, our campers must act. They’ll have to dig deep within themselves to find their own unique talents and strengths, then work together to save Headfirstopolis. Through projects, story immersion and group activities, they’ll develop their own superhero identities, complete with costumes and special powers. Will their hard work and optimism be enough to save the day?

Welcome to CAMPelot

Campers will travel back in time to join the quest of becoming a knight at King Arthur’s round table. There, they will find Percy, a desperate lad who dreams of achieving knighthood but is thwarted by his temper tantrums, endless crying, and knee-buckling fear. But campers and Percy will both work on their Emotional Mastery to achieve their goals!

Heads, Shoulders, Knees & Toes

This week, campers will be learning about one of the most sophisticated and miraculous creations on the planet—our bodies! Through a series of fun and interactive art and STEM projects, they’ll examine how human anatomy is made up of incredible systems designed to help us bounce back, both mentally and physically, from all kinds of setbacks. Campers will love learning how the body they walk around in every day is constantly adapting and growing to help them take better care of themselves … from head to toe!
