Summer Camp at Tuckaway: Weekly Camps and Eagle Extreme Excursions

The best summer fun for kids and moms begins at Tuckaway Child Development and Early Education Center and continues all summer long!

Why?

Maybe it’s because they offer incredible Eagle Extreme Excursions (E3) to incredibly adventuresome places – including an overnight camping trip.

Or maybe it’s because kids can enjoy weekly Decode, Decipher, Discover summer camp that only requires one week enrollment without obligating parents for the whole summer. These camps are all about mysteries and discovering – keeping minds sharp and learning while they’re having fun. And this is a summer camp you don’t want to miss for many more reasons you’ll find below.

Decode, Decipher, Discover Camps

Tuckaway offers “Decode, Decipher, Discover” summer camps. These fun camps are week-long events available for all age groups. You don’t have to sign up for the summer but can simply sign up for one week sessions when it’s convenient for you.

What makes these camps special and different?

They offer tons of interactive fun, but they also have a different them each week. And best of all, everything is included in the weekly fee. You don’t have to worry about additional charges for anything – it’s all-inclusive! Camps include activities such as:

  • Swimming (lessons and sunscreen provided)
  • Activity clubs
  • Sports
  • Arts and crafts
  • Field trips

What better way to keep kids motivated to learn throughout the summer months?
