Youth Day Camps

Junior Adventure Day Camp
Your child will have so much fun at Junior Adventure Day Camp this summer.  Daily camp activities include field trips to Holland Area attractions, athletics, games, lots of time outdoors, and the chance to hang out with other kids their age.  Junior Adventure Day Camp has become one of Holland's top summer attractions with kids returning year after year.  Choose the one-week session that fits your summer schedule best.  The program runs Monday - Thursday; activities start each day at  9:00 AM and end at 3:00 PM.  Detailed information and a weekly schedule will be emailed one week before the first day containing important information regarding pick-up and drop-off times and locations. Schedules are subject to change.  On the first day, children should wear comfortable clothing and shoes, and bring a sack lunch.
