In June we are offering a new enrichment camp through SPARK Business Academy. SPARK camp will run from 9:00am-3:00pm at Ballantine Park with Before and After camp add-on options. In July and August we will be offering our traditional Adventure Day Camp (ADC) at Ballantine Park from 8:30am-4:00pm, with Before and After camp add-on's. The pick-up and drop off locations will be the same for each camp, but the staffing and structure will be different. Both camps offer a sibling discount of $25 off at checkout for Southbury residents!SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning. Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair!

Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur!

Adventure Day Camp: Grades 1-5 - Spark Enrichment Camp WEEK TWO: Build a Biz
For information about TeenScape Camp, visit our program site here!Below you will find registration for two different camps we are offering this Summer for children entering Grades 1-5. In June we are offering a new enrichment camp through SPARK Business Academy. SPARK camp will run from 9:00am-3:00pm at Ballantine Park with Before and After camp add-on options. In July and August we will be offering our traditional Adventure Day Camp (ADC) at Ballantine Park from 8:30am-4:00pm, with Before and After camp add-on's. The pick-up and drop off locations will be the same for each camp, but the staffing and structure will be different. Both camps offer a sibling discount of $25 off at checkout for Southbury residents!SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning. Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair! In this program, students will learn about craft fairs and the ingenuity and creativity of the small business entrepreneur. They will produce goods and learn to create appealing advertising and displays. Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur! Campers will brainstorm their own business ideas based on personal interests, design marketing materials including business cards and flyers, then determine pricing needed to make a profit. Students have fun while developing business savvy and will wrap up the week launching their businesses at an event to raise money for a charity they select! *there is no camp Friday July 3rd* _____________________________________________________________Adventure Day Camp (ADC) - July 6th - August 14th, Mon - Fri, 8:30am-4:00pm Adventure Day Campers will enjoy days full of sports and games, creative art projects, swim lessons, and fun in the sun. ADC will have entertainers on Tuesdays (such as Mini-Golf and Laser tag vendors) and scheduled field trips on Thursdays, (such as Quassy and the CT Science Center). Each camp week will be creatively themed and planned by our camp staff with age-appropriate activities and special events designed to give campers the most fun and memorable summer camp experience possible. ADC offers weekly swim lessons and camp-designated pool time as part of your child’s experience (weather permitting)! Campers will be split into age-appropriate groups determined by the school grade they are entering and will participate in their daily activities within those age groups.NOTE: During select weeks all groups may be mixed throughout the day. ADC is offering an Early Bird discount of $25 off for all registrations received by 2/28/26! The discount will be applied in the final step of the checkout process.

Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups.

Both camps offer a sibling discount of $25 off at checkout for Southbury residents!SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning. Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair!

They will produce goods and learn to create appealing advertising and displays. Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur! Campers will brainstorm their own business ideas based on personal interests, design marketing materials including business cards and flyers, then determine pricing needed to make a profit. Students have fun while developing business savvy and will wrap up the week launching their businesses at an event to raise money for a charity they select! *there is no camp Friday July 3rd* _____________________________________________________________Adventure Day Camp (ADC) - July 6th - August 14th, Mon - Fri, 8:30am-4:00pm Adventure Day Campers will enjoy days full of sports and games, creative art projects, swim lessons, and fun in the sun.

Due to the large number of children on our Waiting list, we will be using this new refund policy: Cancellations properly submitted before the registration close date of your child’s scheduled week will receive a full refund. This time allows adequate opportunity to get another camper enrolled. Cancellations made after registration close for your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 25% cancellation fee. At this time your camper has already been placed into an age appropriate group, we have staffed accordingly, and any changes affect the entire camp. Cancellations made within 7 calendar days of the start of your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. One week before camp starts, field trip tickets have been paid for and it is often too short notice to get someone enrolled from the Waiting list.

Adventure Day Camp: Grades 1-5 - FULL ADC Week 1- Color Wars
For information about TeenScape Camp, visit our program site here!Below you will find registration for two different camps we are offering this Summer for children entering Grades 1-5. In June we are offering a new enrichment camp through SPARK Business Academy. SPARK camp will run from 9:00am-3:00pm at Ballantine Park with Before and After camp add-on options. In July and August we will be offering our traditional Adventure Day Camp (ADC) at Ballantine Park from 8:30am-4:00pm, with Before and After camp add-on's. The pick-up and drop off locations will be the same for each camp, but the staffing and structure will be different. Both camps offer a sibling discount of $25 off at checkout for Southbury residents!SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning. Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair! In this program, students will learn about craft fairs and the ingenuity and creativity of the small business entrepreneur. They will produce goods and learn to create appealing advertising and displays. Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur! Campers will brainstorm their own business ideas based on personal interests, design marketing materials including business cards and flyers, then determine pricing needed to make a profit. Students have fun while developing business savvy and will wrap up the week launching their businesses at an event to raise money for a charity they select! *there is no camp Friday July 3rd* _____________________________________________________________Adventure Day Camp (ADC) - July 6th - August 14th, Mon - Fri, 8:30am-4:00pm Adventure Day Campers will enjoy days full of sports and games, creative art projects, swim lessons, and fun in the sun.

ADC offers weekly swim lessons and camp-designated pool time as part of your child’s experience (weather permitting)! Campers will be split into age-appropriate groups determined by the school grade they are entering and will participate in their daily activities within those age groups.NOTE: During select weeks all groups may be mixed throughout the day.

Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time.

Adventure Day Camp: Grades 1-5 - FULL ADC Week 2- Disney Week
For information about TeenScape Camp, visit our program site here!Below you will find registration for two different camps we are offering this Summer for children entering Grades 1-5. In June we are offering a new enrichment camp through SPARK Business Academy. SPARK camp will run from 9:00am-3:00pm at Ballantine Park with Before and After camp add-on options. In July and August we will be offering our traditional Adventure Day Camp (ADC) at Ballantine Park from 8:30am-4:00pm, with Before and After camp add-on's. The pick-up and drop off locations will be the same for each camp, but the staffing and structure will be different. Both camps offer a sibling discount of $25 off at checkout for Southbury residents!SPARK Business Academy builds real-life skills kids can use now — from money confidence to problem-solving — through hands-on, project-based learning. Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair! In this program, students will learn about craft fairs and the ingenuity and creativity of the small business entrepreneur. They will produce goods and learn to create appealing advertising and displays. Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur! Campers will brainstorm their own business ideas based on personal interests, design marketing materials including business cards and flyers, then determine pricing needed to make a profit. Students have fun while developing business savvy and will wrap up the week launching their businesses at an event to raise money for a charity they select! *there is no camp Friday July 3rd* _____________________________________________________________Adventure Day Camp (ADC) - July 6th - August 14th, Mon - Fri, 8:30am-4:00pm Adventure Day Campers will enjoy days full of sports and games, creative art projects, swim lessons, and fun in the sun. ADC will have entertainers on Tuesdays (such as Mini-Golf and Laser tag vendors) and scheduled field trips on Thursdays, (such as Quassy and the CT Science Center). Each camp week will be creatively themed and planned by our camp staff with age-appropriate activities and special events designed to give campers the most fun and memorable summer camp experience possible.
