 The philosophy behind the program at Dream BIG Day Camp is to offer a wide array of activities so campers get broad exposure to many areas and get to try new things in a safe and supportive environment. The mantra here is: It must be safe! It must be fun! Every camper must be engaged! We find that when campers are presented with something in a comfortable, fun and non-threatening manner they tend to enjoy it more. The icing on the cake is that they tend to excel when they feel comfortable. The instructors on the Dream BIG staff are people who are passionate and highly skilled in their areas of expertise, and just as importantly, they know how to communicate and motivate children.
Many families with multiple children discover that their children may have different areas of interest. The program here is designed so that children cannot only co-exist but truly thrive regardless of their personal interests. Campers can try new things and still enjoy those areas in which they have a greater level of interest. No one area is “pushed” more than another area. They are all weighed equally at Dream BIG and presented with the same amount of emphasis, expertise and enthusiasm.
It simply would not be camp if there were no special events, unannounced guests, surprise happenings, spontaneously funny moments and other bits of magic thrown into the pot. This is all highly classified at this time so come join us if you want to check it out!
