Summer (2-4 yrs)
2025 summer camp
At Hugs & Bugs Club summer camp, we enjoy spending our time inside and outside of our studio. This is a wonderful opportunity for your child to experience a gentle separation drop off class. Our classes focus on giving children all the love they deserve and tons of fun activities to get their minds and bodies moving. Join us for a fun filled summer camp!
For those interested in summer camp for 4-8 years old please see here.
Our Summer camp is available for children 2 up to 4 years old. Keeping in mind the mental health and physical health of our children, we hold summer camp on a session basis. We have two sessions this summer with the same group of children enrolled to maintain a fabulous social atmosphere. This helps our children form connections with peers and feel comfort with routines.
