Is Day Camp at Mission Trails a Good Fit for your Child?
Mission Trails Day Camp is designed for kids ages 6–11, offering an exciting opportunity to explore nature, get creative, and make new friends. Before signing up, consider these points to see if this camp is a good fit for your child:
Group Skills: Can your child stay together in a group? At Mission Trails, we encourage collaboration and group activities, so children need to feel comfortable participating and engaging with peers in a group setting.
Outdoor Comfort: Is your child okay with being outdoors? Our camp activities are held outdoors for portions of the day, so your child should enjoy spending time in nature, exploring the trails, and participating in outdoor games.
Safety Awareness: Can your child follow simple safety directions? Whether it’s staying within designated areas, listening to camp leaders, or understanding basic safety rules, we want campers to be aware of their surroundings and stay safe.
Interest in Art & Nature: Does your child enjoy creative activities, such as arts and crafts, as well as exploring the natural world? Our camp offers a mix of art projects and nature-based learning experiences that inspire kids to engage with the environment and express themselves creatively.
Physical Readiness: Will your child be comfortable walking with the group? We will be out on the trails, and children should be able to walk at a steady pace and cover a distance of up to one mile. This ensures they can fully participate in the outdoor exploration and activities.
Emotional Readiness: Is your child ready for a day camp experience away from home? While our camp is designed to be supportive and fun, some children may need more time to adjust to being away from parents or caregivers.
Independence: Is your child able to go to the bathroom by themselves? This is an important skill for kids attending a day camp to ensure they can manage their personal needs without requiring adult assistance.
If your child meets these criteria, they’re ready to have a fantastic time at Mission Trails Day Camp, where they’ll explore, create, and build memories! Register here.
