HERE IT IS! THE LEGENDARY BEFORE AND AFTER CAMP PROGRAM

Our Before and After Camp is available at the Camp Mirage Big Kid 5 Mile location and the Camp Mirage Junior N. Territorial location. The after-camp program is available to you EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE SUMMER. Once you join our family and register for at least one week of morning camp, go ahead and consider us your personal nanny. This is how it works…

Use as little or as much after camp as you want. We are open every day from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm. Pick your kiddo up any time before 5:30, and we’ll charge you for how much time you use. Simple, right?

Now here’s the BIG NEWS… Kids bored or in need of a babysitter? If your child is not registered for a camp that day, use us as a drop-off service—no need to call ahead. Just drop the kids off any time after 12:30 and pick them up before 5:30 pm. **Note... you must be a registered Camp Mirage family to use this service.

Pre & after-camp is $9.00/hour per child (member cost is $8.00/hr). We bill every quarter-hour, and you will only be charged for the time used at the end of each week.

PRE-CAMP PROGRAM

(7:30am-9:00am)

For busy families, we offer pre-camp supervision beginning at 7:30 am each day. Enjoy the view from the top of the human fly trap, some early morning gaga, 4-square & more.

AFTER CAMP PROGRAM

(12:00pm-5:30pm)

Choices, choices, choices! After 23 years of success with our after-camp program, we’re thrilled to offer campers more options than ever! Most kids stay with us after their 9 am-noon camp.

And it begins...

We start with lunch at noon. Pack your own or order one of our daily specials. After lunch, we have a quick bonfire roundup and explain the day’s activities.

Every day we offer five stations that are rotated every half-hour. Stations have different activities every day! Campers choose a buddy and rotate by choice. In addition to the five stations, campers can also choose activities like gaga, gaming stations, and 4-square. If your child is attending after-camp alone, don’t worry because most kids are! We’ll fix them up with a new friend for the afternoon.
