Mini Camp
Instilling greatness starts at circle time.
We pull out all of the stops for a child’s first summer at ESF! There is nothing more rewarding than watching the littlest ones starting off on their first ever camp experience. Mini Camp is packed with enriching activities and fun play. Full and half day options are available. (Please note: Campers must be potty-trained in order to attend camp.)
