summer camp Themes:
Art Mash Up
Art comes in every form across cultures! We’ll experiment with clay, cardboard, negative space, wire, wood, paint, yarn, and more to craft stunning pieces. The grand finale? Our space transforms into a real art gallery for families to admire!
Blast from the Past
What’s your favorite dinosaur? (We bet your child has a few!) This week, we’ll journey back in time to learn about these incredible creatures, making clay prints, sifting sand for fossil bones, tasting herbivore favorites, digging for dino eggs, and embarking on our own park dinosaur dig!
Cast Away
Ahoy, mateys! We’ll master knot-tying, create colorful sand art, craft hidden messages and pirate maps, and hunt for treasure. The week ends with a thrilling team scavenger hunt around town, using problem-solving and pirate teamwork!
Olympics
Time to test our strength, speed, and endurance! We’ll invent our own fun Olympic-style games and challenges. Get ready to cheer, compete, and celebrate every effort! Are you in?!
Cardboard City
Calling all young engineers and architects! We’ll build an entire city from cardboard, complete with buildings, rooms, doors, windows, and creative decorations using all kinds of art materials. Watch the skyline grow!
A Community of Superheroes
Superheroes are everywhere—especially in Hoboken! We’ll meet local heroes like the Hoboken Fire Department, explore community roles, and partner with a local charity to use our creativity for good. Cape optional, kindness required!
“Rock it” to the Moon!
Blast off with moon walks and rock-star energy! We’ll build rocket ships, embark on lunar missions, paint glowing constellations, and end with epic glow-in-the-dark dance parties. Turn up the volume and launch into space!
Outdoor Adventure club!
Let’s discover the magic of Mother Nature! We’ll explore the outdoors, collect found materials, brew magical potions, create art from our discoveries, and go on exciting bug hunts. Perfect for little explorers!
Knights & Magic
Enter a world of enchantment! We’ll weave storytelling magic, craft battle gear and potions, build imaginary realms, and act out epic tales of good vs. evil. A dash of fantasy and lots of imagination await!
All about Lemonade!
A camp favorite returns! Children will design their own lemonade stands, invent recipes, make fresh lemonade, and practice “selling” it, learning about entrepreneurship, sharing, and treating friends to big rewards! BIG BONUS: they get to treat themselves to a pizza lunch and ice cream party with their profits!
Lights, Camera, Action!
Hollywood, here we come! Children collaborate to invent characters, write scripts, design costumes/wardrobe, makeup, props, sets, and accents. Get ready for mini-performances and big creativity!
CARNIVAL
Step right up! Face painting, popcorn, carnival games, temporary tattoos, festive art, and booth-building fun. Kids will create and run their own carnival stations for friends to enjoy! Pure celebration!
