Camp Shepard Age Groups

Muckleshoots (Ages 4 - 5)

This program is especially designed for the younger camper. In this full day program the children will have a 5:1 camper/counselor ratio and participate in activities specifically geared to their age level. Children will also have the opportunity to participate in daily swim lessons, recreational swims, arts & crafts, environmental awareness, movement activities, quiet time, story time and more. This is an excellent introduction to a full day of activities away from home. Due to ratio requirements, enrollment is limited for each session. Muckleshoots may ride the regular camp bus. This age group does NOT stay for the overnight portion of Parents' Night.

Programs for this age group are designed to achieve a balance between instruction and recreation, as well as group development and individual accomplishment.

Each camper will participate in program activities that meet their individual interests, abilities and needs.
