Weekly themes add excitement while supporting creativity, curiosity, and early social development. For our Junior Campers, field trips focus on nearby, familiar destinations such as the Shorewood Public Library, Atwater Beach, the Shorewood High School Bowling Alley, along with a inviting a few special guests for some on-site field trips as well.
