What We Do At Camp
Kidventure is focused on prioritizing the mental and physical health of every child. Our actions are purposeful and intentional in how we build our curriculum. A curriculum that prioritizes self-exploration through center-based play and fine and gross motor development. We have taken the power of camp as a platform to help develop the physical, social, and academic potential of each and every child.
