Tots Camp is a program focused on recreation, education and fun for children who have not yet entered kindergarten. Though it closely resembles a

protective and well-supervised program.
A typical camp day will consist of an arts and craft project, outdoor playtime (weather permitting), sports, quiet time, music and story time. In addition
to the regularly scheduled programs, campers will also participate in special events and attend performances by entertainers. On very warm days,
there will be water play.
