THE PROGRAMS

THE KID-VANTAGE PROGRAM

AMAZING & AGE-APPROPRIATE OPPORTUNITIES...

FOR OUR 2.5 - 6.5 YEAR OLD CAMPERS (entering Nursery, JK, SK, Gr. 1)

Our popular Kid-Vantage (‘K-V’) Program continually delights us because of the incredible enthusiasm, spirit, creativity and enjoyment demonstrated each day by our 2.5 to 6.5 year old K-V campers and K-V staff! K-V campers, rather than choosing a particular specialty, enjoy and participate in a wide range of specialty programs and other camp activities, many of which are not usually available for their age group at other camps. Check out a description of the exciting K-V activities and daily program on pages 33-34 which demonstrates that every K-V camp day is an adventure! Zodiac’s commitment to and focus on providing excellent programming, low camper-to-staff ratio groups, high-quality, experienced and caring staff and focus on both the individual and group as a whole, have made the K-V Program incredibly popular and effective!
