Our Summer Adventures, Jr. program is designed for preschool-aged children (ages 2-5) and rising K5 students. (Have a rising 1st-6th grader, too? Check out the Summer Adventures program for school-aged explorers!) We offer a wide variety of activities to keep your child engaged and joyfully learning all summer long! Each week features a different theme, such as "Super Kids,” “Dashing Dinos,” “Under the Sea,” and more! 

Your child will love exploring these themes through visual art, science experiments & mathematical inquiries, music & movement, and dramatic play all week long! Our daily schedule includes plenty of time for both structured teacher-led activities and child-directed play, and your child will be well-cared for by our experienced and dedicated staff.

 

With flexible weekly registration, meals and snacks made in house, and our convenient location in the heart of  Downtown Greenville, we’ve made it easy for you to say YES to an amazing summer for your little explorers!

  • What if my explorer is sick? Will I get a refund?
    We require campers to be healthy in order to attend camp. If your child has a fever, has been throwing up, or has had persistent diarrhea, those symptoms will need to have stopped for 24 hours before they return. Refunds and make-up days are not available for days missed due to sickness.
  • What group will my explorer be in?
    We do not have set classrooms for specific ages as we do not limit the amount of campers of specific age groups from registering beyond the age parameters of registering. Once registration is completed, we divide groups according to several factors such as age, developmental milestones, and personality to ensure they are placed in the group that is the best fit. The amount of registrations will determine the group size. Our classrooms' max capacity ranges from 8-12 preschoolers, and we follow DSS staff:child ratios.
  • What if my explorer has an allergy or another dietary restriction?
    All food prepared/provided to the campers are nut free. We can also accommodate other restrictions, such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc.
  • How will I know how my explorer is doing while at camp?
    We utilize a communication platform called Brightwheel. It is our primary means of communicating throughout the camp day with a messaging feature as well as a feed of your child's activities, such as meals/snacks, activities, potty tracking, etc.

  • How do camp teachers handle challenging behaviors?
    Our teachers are trained to handle challenging behaviors with a gentle approach, focused on providing the child a curious, empathic response to their behaviors. We believe that challenging behaviors are attempts of children to communicate an unmet need, e.g. they are tired, overstimulated, hungry, unsure of their environment, etc. It is our goal to help children develop a greater sense of self-awareness, strengthen their ability to self-regulate, and cultivate their socials skills that allow for positive cooperation with their peers by utilizing non-punitive forms of discipline, such as consistently verbalized limits and expectations, natural and logical consequences, and providing safe environments for them to calm and process big emotions in a safe, healthy way.
  • How will I know how my preschooler is doing while at camp?
    We utilize a communication platform called Brightwheel. It is our primary means of communicating throughout the camp day with a messaging feature as well as a feed of your child's activities, such as meals/snacks, activities, potty tracking, etc.
  • What if my preschooler doesn't nap?
    Those who are enrolled in the Full-Day Camp sessions will have a 1-2 hour period of their day dedicated to quiet, calm resting. We do not force any children to sleep, but we do provide all preschool campers with a nap cot to rest on. All preschool campers should be sent with a nap mat (or blanket + pillow) to make their nap cot a comfy, cozy space. Those who don't want to try napping are provided with quiet busy bags and books while during the quiet time.
  • What is the daily schedule?
    General Daily Schedule 7:30-8:30 Drop-off/Centers Play 8:30-8:45 Morning Dance Party 8:45-9:00 Breakfast 9:00-9:15 Community Circle 9:15-10:00 Enrichment & Small Group Activities 10:00-10:30 Snack 10:30-11:30 Outdoor Free Play 11:30-12:00 Lunch 12:00-2:00 Nap/rest time 2:00-2:30 Snack 2:30-3:00 Enrichment & Small Group Activities 3:00-3:30 Outdoor Free Play/Dismissal General Aftercare Schedule (additional charges) 3:30-4:00 Outdoor Free Play 4:00-4:30 Small Group Activities 4:30-5:00 Snack 5:00-5:30 Closing Dance Party/Final Dismissal
  • What group will my preschooler be in?
    We do not have set classrooms for specific ages as we do not limit the amount of campers of specific age groups from registering beyond the age parameters of registering for the preschool camp, which are being as young as 2-years-old and as old as 6-years-old (as long as they have not yet completed K5 and are not entering 1st grade in the 2024-2025 school year). Once registration is completed, we divide groups according to several factors such as age, developmental milestones, and personality to ensure they are placed in the group that is the best fit. The amount of registrations will determine the group size. Our classrooms' max capacity ranges from 8-12 preschoolers, and we follow DSS staff:child ratios.
  • Does my preschooler have to be potty-trained to attend camp?
    Nope!
  • What if my preschooler is sick? Will I get a refund?
    We require campers to be healthy in order to attend camp. If your child has a fever, has been throwing up, or has had persistent diarrhea, those symptoms will need to have stopped for 24 hours before they return. Refunds and make-up days are not available for days missed due to sickness.
