This summer Kids at Work is presenting two distinct camp programs for your child. Children will develop problem-solving and decision-making skills through choice-based activities, open-ended nature-based projects, and creative storytelling and music-making. Our Gym Kids at Work camp includes gymnastics too! Register by the week for these camps, with a 10% discount for 4 or more weeks!

Julie is a former preschool teacher and has been involved in developing toddler camp programs all around NYC for the last 6 years. It's important to know who your child's camp teacher will be, and we're proud to say that we maintain a 3.5:1 student teacher ratio in the classroom at all times, with a maximum of 12 children per day.

Kids at Work has teamed up with ABC Gym Kids to bring you the best ever drop off camp (separation optional) combining both innovative programs. You may sign up for one week at a time, or multiple weeks.
Sample Day: 9:30-10:05 - After greeting, children will mess it up with some choice-based sensory art, story, and an open-ended art project. A thematic curriculum focusing on science/nature will run throughout the summer. 10:05-10:45 - ABC Gym Kids Developmental Gymnastics! All the skill progressions necessary for forward rolls, backward rolls, cartwheels, handstands and more, are built into the obstacle courses that change each week. Children walk away with a real sense of their physical selves and what they are capable of. 10:45-11:00 - We'll provide snack including fresh fruit and juice. 11:00-11:15 - Gather and Go for Sun Sessions! Children will walk together with 3 teachers one and a half blocks to Hudson River Park and enjoy a Kids at Work Sun Session on our huge parachute. Music will include live guitar and child-friendly instruments. If it rains, we'll have music in the gym! 12:00 - Pickup at Hudson River Park at Christopher Street. Rain declaration will be made at drop-off so you'll know where to pickup your child.
Gym Kids at Work Camp will be taught by BOTH founders of Kids at Work and ABC Gym Kids, who have together over 15 years experience working with toddlers and young children. It's important to know who your child's camp teachers will be, and we're proud to say that we maintain 3.5:1 student teacher ratio in the classroom at all times, with a maximum of 12 children per day.
Separation: Our camp features a gentle separation program guided by our nurturing and professional teaching staff, meaning we will work with your family to help your child separate successfully within our program, if desired. ALL children must have a parent/caregiver with them for the entire first day of camp. Separation is not recommended for children under 3 who are attending camp for less than 3 weeks, AND have never been in a separated classroom situation before. Potty training is not necessary to attend camp. Please contact us with any questions.
