Ultimate Adventure Daycamp

Program Photo

This is our summer childcare program. The program starts the day after Joplin schools let out for summer break.  The day runs from 7:00am until 6:00pm Monday-Friday.

All staff are CPR/First Aid certified and have been through a background check. Most staff are education majors or teachers/teacher's aides.

It is a traveling day camp and campers are on the move at several locations throughout the day. Children are divided by age levels: Kindergarden and first grade, second through third grade, fourth and fifth grade. Children in sixth through eighth grade are CITs (Counselors in Training) and have a reduced rate and special activities.

There is a one time enrollment fee and participation is paid by the week, regardless of how many days are attended. Breakfast, lunch, snack and all activities are included in the price.  To enroll, parents must complete an enrollment packet.  We will accept State Aid for those who qualify.
