La Dee Da is a specialty arts day camp. Our summer curriculum offers 13 curated weeks that have been carefully chosen to suit the interests of children ages 3 – 10 years old. We pride ourselves on creating a nurturing camp community with attention to each individual while engaging in a group dynamic. Through a variety of fine and creative arts & craftsyoga & movement, STEAM projects and select specialty workshops, we have created a safe and welcoming space for each camper to expand and explore their unique creativity. Our staff is compiled of real artists, early childhood educators, students pursuing art degrees and other individuals that share a love of the arts and enjoy working with children.

At La Dee Da we offer a unique creative program that is like no other in town! Our curriculum is well researched and thought out, we use quality art supplies, hire qualified staff and offer smaller group settings. With a combination ofarts & crafts, in-house field trips, movement, music, books and plenty of play time, there something for everyone! Students work on multiple projects during the week, some of which are progressive in nature. For this reason, we encourage campers to attend a full week of camp so that they can get the most out of our program. Our curriculum has been designed to be an adjunct filler to traditional day camps that you might be planning to send your child to this summer. Sign up for one or multiple weeks!

Tuition cost is the same for all weeks. Week 2 and Week 7 are short weeks. There is a $25 registration fee per camp, not to exceed $75 per family. This includes a camp T-Shirt for each camper, all art supplies, Popsicle Wednesdays and Friday pizza. Multiweek (3 or more weeks/child) discounts are available.
