POW! Summer Camp (Grades 1–3)

POW! Summer Camp for 1st–3rd graders is designed to give kids a full day of active play, creativity, and connection in a safe, supportive environment. Campers participate in age-appropriate games that build coordination, confidence, and teamwork — all while having fun. Activities may include agility courses, dance freeze parties, relay races, team charades, group storytelling, and imaginative movement games.

Each day also includes park time, short neighborhood walking field trips, board games, team challenges, reading sessions, and art time. POW! is known for providing a camp day filled with structure, routine, and positive guidance, which helps younger campers feel comfortable, supported, and excited to participate.

Camp programming runs from 9:00am–3:15pm. Early drop-off is available starting at 8:00am, and pick-up must be completed by 4:00pm. Late arrivals are welcome, though we appreciate notification if your child will arrive after 9:30am. Early pick-ups must be communicated directly to the front desk and camp coaches. For safety, all drop-offs and pick-ups take place at POW! — off-site drop-offs or pick-ups are not permitted.

Campers should bring a packed lunch, two snacks (morning and afternoon), and a refillable water bottle each day. Electronic devices are not permitted during structured camp activities, and POW! is not responsible for any devices brought to camp.

We aim to get outside 1–2 times daily, weather permitting, so please dress your child for outdoor play. We also encourage campers to bring a book, coloring book, or workbook for quiet or reset time, as younger kids sometimes benefit from a short break from group activities.

Campers may store personal items in a cubby during the day; however, items may not be left overnight.

To enroll for the full week, please be sure to select all five days at checkout.
