Come cool off from the summer heat at our FROZEN summer camp! Join Olaf, Elsa, Anna and Kristoff for a week of chilly fun. We will learn about the properties of water, ice and snow. Children will have a blast making wintry crafts, singing songs from the movie and will learn about the importance of acceptance, courage and love and how we can use these qualities to improve our friendships.

Children will prepare to embark on an adventure like no other, scouring the mysterious fathoms of the deep sea. Thrilling discovers await just beyond the portholes of our submarine as we explore real life creatures as well as beloved sea creatures such as Ariel, Nemo and rainbow fish.
