WE PROVIDE BOOSTER SEATS for those who need them. Please let us know in the AM at drop-off if you prefer your child use a booster in the van.

Please visit What to Expect for a sample day & detailed activities
We typically do 1-2 beach days per week, if we do any at all. Paths & Pages is not super focused on swimming, but we always choose a beach with a state lifeguard (plus our trained staff)
Sometimes the kids don’t want the beach at all & we stick to other nature spots for the week… it totally depends on the campers and what they’re most interested in doing each day
Kids should be prepared to swim each day (bathing suit on underneath their clothes) because general water play is always an option during the summer when it's so hot. There are a few small watering holes, streams, creeks & waterfalls that we may visit or the occasional sprinkler or water balloon fight.

You must register & pay for each child separately
To make this easier, you may also email info@pathsandpages.org with your name, child's name & grade, phone number & which dates you would like & we can send you a customized invoice (if there are remaining seats)
We offer a 10% siblings discount. Use code: SIBS when registering
Siblings discount is for 2+ kids (per household) and cannot be used for unrelated kiddos

We acknowledge all the choices you have when it comes to sending your child to summer camp & we trust you to make the best choices for your family. We purposefully serve ONLY one van of kids per week to create a truly unique & meaningful experience
If your intention is childcare, other camps may be able provide a more flexible rate
Specialty Summer Day Camp rounds out to be ~$25/hr per child (comparable to most babysitters in the area)
We always try our best not to turn anyone away due to lack of funds, especially if you're a repeat client
Please send an email to ashley@pathsandpages.org describing your financial hardship & we'll do our best to accommodate you
