Age Groups

Winding Trails Summer Day Camp consists of children between the age of 3 and entering eighth grade. We take a limited number of campers in each age group to ensure the quality of our program. Each age group is then divided into smaller groups within each unit. Campers are separated by what grade they are entering in the fall. All camp groups are coed. The approximate camper to counselor is 6 to 1.

Cubs – Preschool Program

Three and four year old campers can look forward to an exciting summer at Winding Trails Summer Day Camp in our Scout group. Your preschooler can participate in a half-day camp program 5 days a week. They will have arts & crafts, sports, water play, and an exposure to nature, music, and more. Our staff, experienced in early childhood and camping, will provide a high quality program for your child. A very low counselor-camper ratio will assure that your child receives individual attention. The Scout session is from 9:00am to 1:30pm. Children must be toilet trained. Swim Lessons are not a part of the Scout program.

Families Exploring Nature

This winter and spring families with older children will join Miss Judy for a fun Saturday afternoon of learning something new about the great outdoors. The program format is an introduction about the day’s topic followed by a hands-on outdoor activity to try out what you learned. Each month, we will be exploring different locations and topics as we discover the many animals and plants that make up Winding Trails’ fields, forests, and waterbodies. Since the weather is always fluid, the experience changes from year to year.
The January and February programs will have activities based on the weather on that day — checking out ice on the pond or building a snow fort or taking a hike. In March, we will be experiencing the entire maple sugaring process from taping the trees to boiling down the sap into syrup. Dress for the weather with layers, snow pants (when appropriate), and boots so everyone is warm in the cold.
With April, we have hopes for the early spring season as we look for skunk cabbage and early spring flowers to listening for calling frogs at the vernal pools. Dress for the weather with good walking shoes. Bring along water boots or shoes for exploring the vernal pool areas up close.
