Camp Offerings     Details    Themes and Schedule   

Day camps are limited to only 6 students per instructor! 

Our day camps give children ages 3-10 a special day designed just for them.  Our camps are designed using a Unit Study approach to each theme.  We have many different age-appropriate stations that your child can explore the topic of the day, including but not limited to:  reading, math, science, history, art and geography.

Camp Offerings

The camps are held at our Jim Thorpe location on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday throughout the summer and fall*.  However, we do offer other days if you have a group of at least 4 children. 

We understand that you and your family have an active schedule, so we offer flexibility in our camp times.  Our camps start at 8:30 a.m. and go throughout the day so you can register at any time.  However, you must arrive within 30 minutes of your registered time to ensure your child's spot. 

*Reading Escapades reserves the right to cancel any camps due to low enrollment.
