Camp McLean Jr.
Introducing Camp McLean Jr.!
Our newly designed Camp McLean Jr. is where our youngest heroes, ages 3–4, begin their journey into greatness! Guided by our skilled Hero Instructors, campers will embark on age-appropriate missions that help them unlock their powers of teamwork, curiosity, and imagination. Each day brings new adventures — creative quests, cooperative challenges, and plenty of time for fun and discovery. With higher than traditional staff-to-camper ratios, every young hero gets the support they need to soar!
Camp will be held at Kent Gardens Elementary School.
