Cow Island Day Camp

Why Camp?

For the comfort and pleasure of knowing your child is developing social skills, learning to make new friends, and interacting with diverse group of children.
The sheer happiness that your child is completely separated from screen time.
Curriculum developed by an educator – your child will participate in carefully crafted activities intended to foster learning and curiosity. This includes highly relevant topics related to our lake environment and lake safety.
On our island, your child will truly connect with nature through lead activities and in free play.
Summer camp is renowned for helping children foster self-confidence and build resilience.
You get 3.5 hours of bliss and freedom (we are all parents & grandparents, we get it).
We work around your schedule. Sign up for a day, a week, or multiple weeks.
