Kindercamp

kindercamp 2026
Wellesley Recreation summer camp schedule

Kindercamp is the perfect first taste of summer camp—full of fun, laughter, and discovery! Designed just for our youngest campers, Kindercamp offers a warm, welcoming environment where children can explore, play, and grow.

Each day is filled with age-appropriate activities, including:

  • Creative arts and crafts

  • Music and movement

  • Games and hands-on play

These activities are designed to keep campers engaged, smiling, and excited all day long.

In a nurturing setting, children build friendships, try new things, and gain confidence as they learn what it means to be part of a camp community. Through playful routines and guided activities, campers:

  • Build independence

  • Practice cooperation

  • Develop important social skills

Most importantly, they have a lot of fun. Kindercamp helps set the stage for a lifelong love of camp and learning.
