Our "Thanksgiving Mash-Up Camp" delivers an exciting combination of activities designed to engage diverse interests while preparing for the holiday season!
Choose 2 days (Nov 24 & 25) or 3 day options.
This three-day experience blends practical self-defense instruction with the wildly popular slime-making workshops and festive Thanksgiving preparations. Led by experienced instructors, children learn age-appropriate safety skills and confidence-building techniques through fun, movement-based activities.
Each afternoon transforms into a laboratory of tactile discovery as campers create different slime variations—from buttery-smooth to galactic swirls to satisfyingly crunchy textures. As Thanksgiving approaches, children will channel their creativity into meaningful gratitude projects and festive decorations, plus learn the science behind traditional holiday foods. This camp offers the perfect mix of practical skills, sensory exploration, and holiday preparation!
