Little Jack Rec Camp for 6 to 12 year olds

Camps

Little Jack Rec Camp is an all-day summer camp for children ages 6–12.

Campers rotate through activities that promote teamwork, communication, sportsmanship and fun. LJRC is noncompetitive and not sport-specific, focusing on building basic skills for beginner and intermediate participants.

Kickoff day camp: One day only

Summer camp: Eight weeks of fun!

There's a promised blend of consistency and variety each day to keep the campers engaged throughout the day.
