Mini Division is admittedly our most adorable Division of Junior Camp. We pull out all of the stops for a child’s first summer at ESF!

Our Preschool & PreK campers explore their world through hands-on learning activities. They are curious, active, eager, and excited to discover something new each and every day. The Mini Division of Junior Camp provides our youngest, bubbliest campers with opportunities for daily swim instruction, running, jumping, climbing, singing, dancing, and so much more! This fun-filled, first-camp experience is a nurturing place where campers can learn, play, and explore.

A favorite free-choice adventure where campers rotate through stations featuring LEGO® creations, hands-on manipulatives, music and movement, story time, and creative expression—sparking imagination and independent discovery.

Project Discovery

Through hands-on experiments, nature walks, and playful discoveries, little explorers learn about plants, animals, and the world around them.

Arts & Crafts

Campers explore painting, clay, crafts, and sensory art projects to build creativity, fine motor skills, and early artistic expression.

Fun with Sports

Active games and movement activities help campers run, jump, and play while building coordination, teamwork, and confidence.
