Discovery Camps

18 Months - 3 Years

Fountainhead is proud to offer Discovery Camps four weeks out of each year for children ages 18 months -6 years old. These specialized, age appropriate camps are available for one week at the end of Summer session, Winter Break, Spring Break, and the end of the year before Summer School starts.

These camps feature full day and half day options and will include on-site field trips, low teacher/student ratios, and before and after care options from 7 AM - 6:00 PM.

Parents love the added structure and enrichment options during these special weeks. Any before and after care used on these days applies to your max or hourly before and after care rate depending on how much before and after care you use in the month.

Please keep in mind that just like child care only days you must sign up in advance so we can plan for your camper to join us.

Course Descriptions

What is Discovery Camp?

Our camps promote an active and healthy lifestyle with lots of games, healthy snacks and plenty of physical activity and movement throughout the day. During Discovery camp we will:

  • Have a daily Assembly that gets campers excited about what is going to happen that day and builds a sense of community
  • Engage in themed camp activities based on the camp topic and designed to promote skill building and learning while having a blast
  • Enjoy camp games that give everyone a chance to run around, get sweaty and have fun.
  • Have time for friendship and chill out with your camp buddies
  • A wrap up — a time to say “Good bye, until tomorrow!,” review the day and plan for the day and week to come.

You do not have to sign-up for the whole week, you can sign up by the day (half or full).
