CAMP MIRAGE JUNIOR PROGRAM
45201 N. TERRITORIAL PLYMOUTH (Located at the Plymouth First United Methodist Church)
Juniors are taking over our North Territorial location and for good reason! It’s PERFECT for them. Junior camp is offered to kids entering preschool, kindergarten, or 1st grade in the Fall. All Juniors will be grouped by age.
Whoo-hoo! Can you tell we’re excited??? We are booting out the older kids so our Juniors can be the big guys on campus! Do you have a Junior Camper who would attend North Territorial and a big kid attending Five Mile? We’ll have a bus service in between. Call for more information.
OK… Here’s how it works! Junior Camp is a 50 /50 mix of indoor and outdoor activities. We don’t have this option at Five Mile, that’s why this is perfect for younger kids. Here is what the North Territorial Location has to offer:
Outside – wooded nature trails, soccer fields, basketball courts, huge 75-foot slip-n- slide, GAGA pits, volleyball courts, bikes, tetherball, 4-square, playground equipment
Indoors- approximately 3,000 square feet with an arts and crafts room, Lego building room, gaming room, gross motor room, music room, an indoor canteen, and indoor bathrooms! Yes! Indoor bathrooms! We have TONS of toys and games! These are much easier to manage indoors.
We now have two Junior Program options for younger kids our JUNIOR CAMP (3 & 4 year-olds) and traditional JUNIOR DAY CAMP (5, 6 & 7 year-olds). Below you will find the details for both programs.
Do you have a Junior camper and a big kid and are concerned about drop off and pick up at two locations? Don’t worry! We have transportation between the two camps.
Free shuttle service is available for all campers between our two Plymouth locations. If you live closer to one location, consider the bus service. If you have siblings attending both locations, this is a great option. We know there may be mixed feelings regarding dividing the locations by age; please be assured that this was well thought out. This is an excellent opportunity to provide a much more enjoyable and customizable experience for our kiddos. Our bus will do two shuttles in the AM at 8:15 and 8:45 and two shuttles in the PM at 3:15 and 3:45. Additional pre/ aftercare is available outside of these times as well. Our locations are 8 minutes away, and our bus has seat belts. No pre-registration is necessary. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
JUNIOR CAMP FOR 3 AND 4-YEAR OLDS
*must be 3 by June 1st and potty trained
Our Junior Camp rocks and is always one of the first to sell out! We believe it’s because our programming is unique and more exciting than other daycare options around. In planning the JR camps, we’ve considered your child’s developmental skills, motor coordination, attention span, and energy level. We’ve carefully balanced educational activities with just plain silly fun!
This camp is divided by age. All activities/sports will be customized for your child’s age group.
The cost is $165/ week. Choose one week, several weeks, or the whole summer!
Junior Camp runs Monday- Friday from 9 AM-noon. Pre and After-camp are available for all 4-year-old Junior campers. Click here for more information.
Our days are divided into 4 parts. Junior athletes promise’ that we’ll be doing some sort of physical activity every day. Junior artists lets’ our little ones create and express themselves. Junior genius allows us to sneak in some education (shhh… don’t tell)! Finally, Junior jokes will let the kids go wild by getting messy, goofy, and silly. Our Juniors get the crazy out here and come home super happy and tired!
