The City of Peoria has opened registration for its annual AM/PM Summer Camp Program, designed to keep children engaged and entertained throughout the summer while also providing them with valuable learning experiences. The program, which spans from May 27 to July 23, caters to kids aged 5 through 14 and operates from Monday to Friday between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. across various locations in Peoria.
A unique aspect of the program is its emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) projects, which are increasingly considered critical in the development of problem-solving skills and creativity. In addition to these STEAM projects, children will get to quickly join daily field trips that are included in the camp cost. These excursions feature visits to places like the Science Center and stargazing events that are accessible to all participants, as per information provided by the City of Peoria's official announcement.
The summer camp also introduces the Campers Choice Clubs on days without field trips, where children can engage in enrichment activities without any additional fees. Camp costs are set at a weekly rate of $185 for four to five days or a part-time rate of $115 for one to three days, with meals and activities included. While they do not offer daily rates, as mentioned on the city's website, these flat rates cover breakfast, snacks, lunch, and all scheduled activities.
Parents and children looking to learn more about the summer camp can attend the Summer Camp Meet & Greet scheduled for May 23rd from 4-5pm. This event promises to give families the chance to better familiarize themselves with the staff and the camp facilities before the program officially starts. For further details or to expend inquiries, interested parties can call 623-773-7137 or visit the summer camp's website, where registration can also be completed.
