Junior Players
Junior Players explore unique weekly themes through the creative components of arts and crafts, music, and performing arts!
In this integrated arts program, participants rotate daily through the creative components as they collaborate on a creative showcase that combines all of their artistic experiences. The schedule balances indoor and outdoor activities and engages kids in an immersive and age-appropriate way.
Designed specifically for children ages 5-8, participants will rotate daily through creative components emphasizing arts & crafts, music, and performing arts. Outdoor activities complement and balance the creative focus to provide a well-rounded, immersive, and fun experience. Each activity is led by a dedicated team of counselors whose background and passion are in youth development. The bonus of having the opportunity to work with a choreographer, art director, and music director, in the creative components brings an invaluable depth of knowledge and years of experience to this program.
This full-day program operates from 9:00-4:00 daily. Bus transportation is available.

About the Space
The Brooks Studios and Stages Program provides participants with a variety of activities and spaces that no other local camp can equal. There is plenty of room to run and play, from tennis courts and fields to an archery range and gymnastics center. New for 2023, swimming is now part of this program. In addition to taking full advantage of our 270-acre campus on the shore of Lake Cochichewick, our newly constructed Center for the Arts building will house the creative components.

A Typical Day
Campers rotate through a schedule that changes daily and will ensure your child looks forward to camp every day. In these time blocks, students collaborate with one another, professional instructors, and counselors. There are outdoor breaks built into the day to allow students to expand their minds and stretch their bodies. Outdoor activities complement and balance the creative components to provide a well-rounded, immersive, and fun experience.
