Entering K-3rd grade
A summer built around exploration
Journey's summer camp welcomes children entering kindergarten through third grade. Field trips to local parks, beaches, trails, and farms bring hands-on discovery into the summer experience. The natural world remains a source of questions, movement, and opportunities to connect with others.
Camp offers a different rhythm from the school year without leaving curiosity behind. A new place can invite children to notice something unfamiliar, share an observation, or try a new way of exploring. The emphasis is on an engaging summer experience, not rushing ahead through the next year's schoolwork.
Make the practical questions specific
Before making summer plans, ask Journey for the current camp dates, availability, costs, daily hours, and trip information. This overview describes the program's focus, not a published itinerary. Destinations and arrangements should be confirmed with the school rather than assumed from past experiences or a sample event calendar.
Families should also ask about supervision, transportation, clothing, food, and how the program supports children with different needs. Those details help you judge whether camp is a good fit for your child. Share relevant information early so that questions can be addressed before the first day.
Find a good fit for your summer
Talk with your child about what sounds exciting and what feels unfamiliar. A child may be enthusiastic about outdoor adventures and still have questions about a new group or a trip. Bringing both parts of that conversation to the school can help you understand how transitions are supported.
Contact Journey for the current registration process rather than assuming the year-round waitlist guarantees a camp place. ChildCare.gov offers deeper guidance on school-age and camp programs, including questions to ask about safety and quality. That broader information complements the specific details Journey can provide for this summer.
