FAQ

  • Nope! All campers meet in our classroom in the morning, and they will have the following daily activities in the classroom:

    • Art

    • STEM

    • Music & Movement

    • Lunch & Snack

    Campers will enjoy nature walks in our neighborhood & play time at Patterson Playground (0.4 miles from Glow Worm). Any time the kids leave the building, the ratio of adults to children will be at least 4:1.

    Campers will also take weekly field trips as well as have special visitors at Glow Worm.

    Lastly, campers will spend time daily in our new community garden.

  • Field trips are included in the cost of your camp fee. We have decided to host our field trips at Glow Worm instead of traveling off site at this time. Various entertainers and organizations will be visiting our facilities during camp hours to provide educational, age-appropriate activities for the campers.

  • Nope! We will have a dedicated play session for campers twice weekly, and they will be supervised by head camp counselor and the assistant counselor. Campers will not be in the same play sessions as non-camp Glow Worm patrons. Camper access to the Play Patio is dependent on the weather.

  • We will provide healthy and yummy snacks from our commercial kitchen, such as veggies and dip, hummus and pita, fruit, or a special order from our baker. All snacks will be allergy-friendly.

  • To better accommodate our customers and their family structures, as well as provide more opportunities for families in our community, we made the decision to open our camps to children age 4 to age 8. Campers may be split into small groups based on their age to allow for age-appropriate activities that are sure to engage and entertain their growing minds!
