For the kids who want to dive deeper.
One-week sessions
Nursery (Age 3*) - Entering Grade 8
Sessions offered June 22 - August 14, 2026
*all children attending Branches programs must be fully potty trained/independent toilet users
Explorers at Branches spend the first half of their day delving into a specific topic or subject - exploring all they can through hands-on activities and projects. Your child will select a subject or skill to pursue throughout their week at camp. They and other Explorers who share their interest are paired with an instructor who specializes in their subject of choice. Each grade will have different class options to choose from each week.
Explorers+ courses include content time both in the mornings and in the afternoons for an even deeper dive into unique experiences. Build your own skateboard, hack retro video games or design your own model rocket in these new programs. Due to supplies and equipment, Explorers+ prices are higher than standard Explorers courses.
Flexible Scheduling for Acorns
We understand that every child’s stamina is different, which is why we offer a flexible structure that scales with your family’s needs:
The Half-Day Experience: A perfect introduction to a camp routine, filled with fun, collaborative play and structured discovery during the morning hours.
Extended Day (Until 3:35 PM): For children ready for more, our extended day provides a seamless transition into a full-day rhythm. This extra time allows for deeper immersion in our thematic activities, a quiet rest period, and additional social opportunities in a familiar, nurturing setting.
The Magic of Three: Acorns
Our specialized program is built to celebrate the magic of being three. At this age, children have boundless curiosity and blossoming independence. By focusing exclusively on this age group, we’ve created a "just-right" environment where children feel brave enough to explore at their own pace. From "Splish Splash" to "Bug Hunters," our vibrant thematic weeks turn big ideas into hands-on discoveries. At our camp, every day is a brand-new adventure!
