CAMP MIRAGE JUNIOR PROGRAMS
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.
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 it's 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 for Littles (3 & 4 year-olds) and traditional JUNIOR DAY CAMP (5, 6 & 7 year-olds). Below you will find the details for both programs.
Our 3- and 4-year-old program is theme based. Our kiddos will have complete control over our school, The Learning Express, and its' fully stocked classrooms! Each day will have open play, whole group camp songs, themed craft and gross motor activity, snack/canteen, playground, water activity, and a camp mirage staple (gaga, race track, arcade, etc).
For our 5-, 6-, and 7-year-old programs we take the BEST big kid camps and expand them! We schedule their day in small increments, so the activities are always changing and keeping them on their toes.
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.
Shuttle service is available for sibling 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. Pre-registration is required. An email with more information will be sent out in June. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

*must be 3 by June 1st and potty trained
Our Junior Camp for the littles 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!
Our 3- and 4-year-old program is theme based so you can sign your kiddo up for their faves or they can come every week and it is always changing! They will have complete control over our school upstairs and the fully stocked classrooms! The littlest of the littles will follow the same basic schedule all summer, so they are able to do a little of everything! Each day will have open play, whole group camp songs, themed craft and gross motor activity, snack/canteen, playground and a camp mirage staple (gaga, race track, arcade, etc).
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 Junior campers. Click here for more information.
