Summer Camp

Extreme Discoveries -- Summer Camp 2010

From the Arctic Circle to the Stars above, our students will discover the wonders of the world around us during Summer Camp 2010.  Summer Camp is a time for fun, but that doesn`t mean the learning stops. 

Swimming lessons are available from McCrackens Gymnastics and Swim Club.  Dance, music and theater are available through Steps to the Stage.  If your children are interested in sports, Happy Feet offers physical fitness, soccer skills and a lot of fun with professional coaches. And for exposure to a second language, Young Spanish is available for all levels.

Our school-age campers take three field trips per week to places like the Kansas City Zoo, Children`s Museum, Golf, Skating, Bowling and much more.  Junior Campers (1st Graders & Kindergartners)  take two trips a week to similar attractions.   All trips and transportation, meals and snacks are included in the weekly camp tuition. No hidden fees or surprises. Compare us to others and you will agree that Kids `R` Kids Olathe offers the best program

Last year, our campers enjoyed trips to Moon Marble, Children`s Museum, , KC Zoo, Gardner Pool, Deanna Rose, Antioch Park, Monkey Bizness, Smiley`s Golf, Kaleidescope, Bump City, Coterie Theater, Skate City, Super Splash, Mahaffie Stage Coach Station, Ice Skating, Laser Tag, Tunnel Voyage, Power Play, Paradise Park, Mission Bowl, Arabia Steamboat, Wetzels Pretzels, Nelson Atkins Museum, and weekly outings to Black Bob Park and Pool.  Swimming lessons are available through our partnership with McCrackens Gymnastics and Swim School.
