Enrollment in camp is not limited to Whittier Elementary students, and preschoolers must be 3.5 years old and independent bathroom users before their first camp session.
For Summer 2025 WK is offering ten sessions of camps: June 23rd – August 29th. Camp core hours are 8:30 am – 3:30 pm, with optional extended care until 6:00 pm. Learn more about these sessions and register here.
A typical day at a WK camp may include team projects, free choice stations, outside and/or gym play, a special assembly, and hearty snacks. WK strives to provide a safe, inclusive, and fun space where all kids feel welcome and valued. Some Summer Camp Highlights:
- Kid-approved weekly themes are the basis of group and individual projects. These activities support our curriculum goals: promoting social, leadership, and team-building skills. WK campers will team up to host a Ren Faire, hold craft fairs, put on talent shows, and compete in silly sporting events.
- Free choice station time is built into the daily schedule. Age-appropriate games ranging from Candy Land to D&D, art materials, pretend play props, sports equipment, books, and building manipulatives are all accessible during station time. Station materials are rotated frequently based on our campers’ interests and engagement.
- Each camp session includes active play time in the school playcourt and at a local park. Weekly assemblies may include presentations and/or performances from special guests.
- Optional extended care is offered until 6:00 pm. Families can register for extended care by the week. There is an add-on option for adding extended care for every weekly session. Extended care is a fun mixture of outdoor activities, stations, and skill-building activities.
Whittier Kids is licensed and monitored through the Department of Children, Youth and Families and voluntarily participates in School’s Out Washington’s program quality initiative. Decisions regarding curriculum goals and staff practices are guided by program assessment tools, as well as PNA’s mission and values.
