As long as you pay each installment before the due date listed on your receipt, no automatic payment will be processed. If you partially pay early, only the remaining balance will be charged. You can make payments anytime from registration until each installment’s due date, at any frequency.

Global Experience Day Camp

We explore the sights, sounds, and textures of countries all around the globe. Curiosity, social skills, and building confidence are developed as we examine the world through cooking, music, painting, and special events. This indoor camp sparkles with cultural dances and games that children from other countries enjoy.

Campers recognize their own uniqueness and gain perspective on other cultures. We link reading and math skills by creating beautiful, high-quality artwork. Each session culminates with a vibrant art show highlighting the country we explore.
