At Active Day Camps, we understand the importance of early childhood development, which is why our Early Years Camp is specially designed for children aged 3 to 5. This program provides a calm, nurturing, and engaging environment that helps young children develop essential skills through play-based learning and structured activities. Led by specialist coaches and early years educators, our camp ensures that each child receives the attention and guidance they need to thrive.
A Safe and Stimulating Environment
Our Early Years Camp is tailored to meet the unique needs of preschool-aged children. We create a safe and supportive setting where little ones can explore, learn, and build confidence at their own pace. Through age-appropriate activities, we encourage curiosity, creativity, and early social skills, helping children lay a strong foundation for future learning.
