Playworks, a world-class education and childcare facility, has opened enrollment for its 2014 summer camp, a one-of-a-kind recreational day camp for children. Playworks Summer Camp, which runs daily June 9-August 29, is open to the public for children entering grades 1-6.
With a theme of “Discover Minnesota,” Playworks Summer Camp 2014 will be a fun-filled program including a variety of arts and crafts, outdoor games, and science and nature activities.
- Field trips will take campers to zoos, museums, beaches, pools, parks, historic sites, and amusement parks.
- Swimming, ice skating, and playing basketball at Dakotah! Sport and Fitness (next door to Playworks) will keep campers active.
- Classroom experiences will include creating arts and crafts, doing science experiments, and playing on the playground.
- Playtime in the Playworks atrium – featuring the area’s largest indoor play structure, interactive games, arcade games, and more – will round out an active, educational summer.
Campers are divided into three groups: Early Explorers (1st and 2nd graders), Explorers (3rd and 4th graders), and Advanced Explorers (5th and 6th graders).
