NEW! Your child can will get plenty of fresh air and experience the beautiful 2,900 acre campus of Saint John’s Prep and Saint John’s University while meeting new friends. We'll have adventure and age-appropriate discovery activities guided by academic themes of arts, sciences, and cultural exploration. Each session is filled with fun group activities that exercise the body, challenge the mind and nurture the spirit of our youth. All sessions will include a snack, lunch, and a camp t-shirt (indicate youth L, adult S, M, L when registering). Please wear a mask. Focus on the Arts: The first morning session will consist of an Introduction to Musical Theater Workshop. Kids of all skill levels will learn techniques to prepare for participation in musical theater. The second morning session will bring us into the woods for an introduction to orienteering and hiking through the trails of beautiful Saint John’s University. Focus on the Sciences: Your child will get their hands dirty while participating in an outdoor education program to improve their environmental literacy and emotional connectedness to the natural world in the first morning session. The second morning session will bring us out to Lake Sagatagan for an introduction to canoeing and water safety. Life jackets will be provided. Focus on Culture: The first morning session will be an introduction to Asian Culture, and students will participate in traditional paper cutting and a fashion show! Lunch will also include a traditional food item. The second morning session will bring us outdoors where students will learn basic camping skills and prepare lunch over an open flame.

Summer is the perfect time to get outside and explore, get messy, and create. Your child can join HIKEHoppers for Park Play Day Experiences and explore the wonders of being a kid in the summer.
