The Ultimate Summer Vacation is Here!

Welcome to Doodle Day Camp where our mission is to provide a safe, supervised environment that keeps children active through creative learning and fun activities. We offer awesome programs for children ages 3-12 years so your child’s summer vacation is filled with exciting adventures alongside great friends.

Each week during Doodle Day Camp we’ll celebrate a different theme. Our Bravo! curriculum, developed by our Education Team, is creatively constructed for summer camp and embraces each theme. In addition to meaningful indoor and outdoor educational activities, daily experiences include: exciting events, clubs (swim, garden, book, sports and STEM), field trips and special guests!

Now, let’s take a look at all the fun we have planned!

(note that some weekly themes vary by region. If a region is not listed, the theme applies to all locations.)

Each day, a special summer event is planned for the center. Summer events correlate to the weekly theme to enhance the fun! The events vary by region, you can check them out here: New York; Pennsylvania; Florida.

Our (optional) daily field trips are for children that are kindergarten-bound and older. Ask your center for a list of destinations specific to your location (note, some field trips require a small additional fee). This summer you can find us rock climbing, attending cooking school, miniature golfing, and more! Space on field trips is limited and popular destinations fill up fast, see your director to get your child on the list. Keep in mind excursions are subject to change, though we do our best to ensure that this rarely happens.

Finally, it’s important to be prepared for all the fun we will be having this summer! Please including the following on your summer camp packing list: swimsuit, sunscreen (aerosol sunscreens not permitted), towel, water shoes, sun hat, extra set of weather-appropriate clothing and sneakers.

Happy summer!
