Weather permitting each Friday, we will have splash day. Please send a bathing suit, towel, and sunscreen with your child each Friday. Water shoes are optional. Our splash day typically consists of an inflatable slide, inflatable pool, and sprinklers. Participation is optional but should your child not participate they will still be outside with the rest of their camp.
