Day Camps
connect, learn, and have fun
Fun throughout the school year
What are Day Camps?
Day camps are a wonderful opportunity for campers to reconnect with their friends from camp and see the staff and Young Leaders from the previous summer. During day camps, campers participate in fun activities and crafts, develop new skills, enjoy a snack, and have fun with new and old friends!
Beginning in the Fall and continuing throughout the school year, children in Kent & Ottawa Counties are invited to attend our day camps. Day camps are held on the lakeshore at our camp facility in West Olive, in Grand Rapids, and other local locations, and are offered FREE OF CHARGE.
Stay Up-to-Date
The best way to stay up-to-date with day camp announcements is by creating an account in our registration portal and creating a profile for your child(ren) in your account -- be sure to include their birth date and current grade. We send out an email announcing each day camp registration to all parents of children who qualify for that day camp (based on age and/or grade).
