Available camp hours are Monday - Friday, 7:00 am - 5:45 pm. The camp is divided into zones:  Primary Zone is designed for ages K-8 (completed kindergarten) and meets at Fishing Creek Elementary. Secondary Zone includes ages 9-12 and meets daily at Crossroads Middle School.

New opportunity offered for ages 13 and 14!
PlayZone L.I.T.E. (Leader In Training Experience) will give 13 and 14 year old campers a chance to attend camp five days a week, but in a different role as a PlayZone Leader In Training. LITs will gain valuable leadership skills as they assist the adult PlayZone staff with many aspects of the daily camp duties. They will no longer be just a participant, but an active additional member of the PlayZone aide staff assigned to either the PrimaryZone or SecondaryZone group. There will be camper expectations and goals established for LIT Experience, which will include the field trips with Primary or Secondary Zones. Additional details concerning the L.I.T.E. program are available below.
Approximate Cost: $75 per week

Make your summer vacation one to remember at PlayZone!
