Kids Korner at Burr Park is summer day camp for children ages 3.5 to Pre-kindergarten 5. Campers will learn and explore new experiences through play. We are a preschool camp, and follow a schedule similar to that of a preschool with Morning Meetings. Together, we will learn about the world around us through various activities, arts and crafts, and games!
Mission
Summer Fun at Burr Park is a developmental child experience where children can learn while they play. Children have an opportunity for social, emotional, physical, and mental development in a nurturing environment.
