Waterman Explore Camp will be
9 am - 3 pm each day
The week is dedicated to each specific age group so the adventures are tailored to the children’s needs and abilities:
Tuition is $200 per week and includes a Waterman EXPLORE t-shirt. Open to children ages 6 - 11. Payment should be made in full with completed registration materials to secure your child’s spot.
* Programming will be delivered primarily outdoors so campers should be prepared with appropriate closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, insect repellant, and adequate attire for the day. Campers will need to bring water, snacks, and lunch every day.
Other helpful, but not required materials include a sketch pad, notebook, journal, water shoes, a cheap magnifying glass, or cheap binoculars. Participants will also be expected to comply with typical COVID-19 precautions and procedures such as limiting contact with other campers and practicing good hand hygiene.
