COOL TOYS AT

AFTER SCHOOL CAMP

After a long day at school,

kids look forward to their time

at camp which they can spend

with their friends engaging in

fun activities that stimulate

their interests.

For this reason, after school

camp is full of fun-packed toys

that go far beyond what most

families have in even the most

well stocked playroom.

From encouraging kids to be

physically active to challenging

their problem-solving abilities,

here are just a few of the cool

toys your kid can enjoy in their

after-school camp program.

GET MOVING ON PEDAL CARTS

Pedal carts are a hit among

kids of all ages, and this

awesome toy encourages

kids to burn off their pent-up

energy after school.

As kids challenge themselves

to go faster, they build their

muscular strength and stamina.

This activity also allows them

to direct their fun since they

can choose to take a leisurely

ride or invite their friends to

take part in a race.

STIMULATE CREATIVITY WITH AN OUTDOOR PLAY VILLAGE

Playhouses are always

favorite toys for kids that give

them space to role-play.

At after school camp, however,

they can engage in an entire

village of playhouses that

creates the ideal environment

for sparking creativity.

Whether your kid prefers to

prepare orders in a diner or

care for pretend horses in the

veterinary clinic …

… they will be practicing social

skills that strengthen their

vocabulary and self-awareness.

ENGAGE IN A FRIENDLY LASER TAG COMPETITION

Kids always have a blast playing

laser tag. While it may look like

chaos to the adults observing,

kids truly do work as a team to

strategize against their peers.

Running, jumping and stooping

to avoid hits are also great ways

to keep kids active.

After school camp also makes it

possible to get a large enough

group of kids together to

increase the excitement of

playing this futuristic game.

BUILD KNOWLEDGE WITH CHESS AND LEGOS

While many of the toys at after

school camp are designed to

get kids moving, there are also

activities …

… planned to give kids an

opportunity to indulge in quiet

play that stimulates their

reasoning skills.

Chess classes and competitions

are fun since kids are introduced

to new players that enhance

their skills.

Legos are also used in ways

that go further than simply

building a brick house.

Electronics are incorporated

so that kids can learn the

basics of robotics and

scientific reasoning.

Building a Lego car that will

actually move encourages kids to

expand their knowledge even

further as they create new brick

sculptures.

CONQUER FEARS ON A ROPE COURSE

Any parent who has heard their

child cry out with boredom after

school will appreciate the unique

benefits offered by climbing

walls and rope courses.

Since these types of activities are

rarely found anywhere else, after

school camp is the place to go to

provide kids with the opportunity

to test their courageousness.

For kids who are afraid of

heights, rope courses are offered

at varying levels so that kids can

slowly work their way up to the …

… biggest challenges with the

support of their peers and

after-school camp counselors.

The hours after school

are critical for a child’s

development.

Yet, it is important to give kids

an outlet for their energy after

they have spent hours sitting in

a classroom.

In addition to these cool toys,

they will always look forward to

exploring the new activities

that their after-school program

is constantly offering …

… to help them have fun in a

safe environment while also

building upon the skills they

learn during the school day.

Let your kids experience the fun

of after-school program at

Maplewood Summer Day Camp.

Experienced staff will keep your

child both safe and busy with

arts and crafts, games, water

sports, gymnastics and more.
