Mindfully-designed Summer Day Camps at our modern, hands-on children’s space!
Imaginative play – rooted in science
Playforest Day Camps are custom designed by experienced Early Childhood Educators to foster an environment where creative play is inspired and nurtured.
We are so excited to present our new lineup of programs for Summer 2024. Our Camps are active, social, and created to facilitate the spontaneous learning processes that children naturally engage in.
Healthy time for them is healthy time for you!
Playforest Day Camps are half-day, drop-off classes that support parents by providing freedom for guilt-free, rejuvenating personal time while your child enjoys a safe, holistic learning experience!
We are also proud to be a growing social hub for a community of local young families. Signing up for a Summer Day Camp is a great way to start getting your own family peapod involved with the fun.
supported teachers for thriving students
The heart of Playforest programs are a team of dedicated professional educators who bring their diverse warmth and wisdom to our community.

Is this the right camp for my child?
It is very important to us that each child at Playforest feels understood, competent, and supported.
All children attending Playforest Day Camp must meet the following developmental guidelines to ensure proper placement:
Campers must be ages 3-6 years old.
Campers must be fully toilet-trained prior to starting camp.*
Campers must be able to separate successfully from caregivers (with or without needing a little help from our educators!)**
Campers must be able play in a group of peers, under the guidance of teachers, without requiring continuous behavioral support.***
* We are not setup to accept children wearing pull-ups at this time.
** Minor shyness at drop-off time is entirely normal and Playforest teachers are very experienced with redirecting the attention of children who are a little hesitant to start!
*** For many preschoolers, Playforest Day Camp is an ideal environment to get more comfortable with a school routine and practice their burgeoning social skills. If you feel that your child may need a higher level of individual guidance to meet their current behavioral learning needs, Playforest Day Camp is not designed to provide a one-on-one level of care.
Parents & caregivers agreement
– Our Day Camps are purchased as week-long reservations with a 5 day Monday-Friday schedule (9am – 3:30pm). Sorry but no part-time enrollment or other modifications to this schedule are allowed. No refunds are given for days that are missed or unused for any reason, except in the unusual event of a Camp cancellation by Playforest.
– Playforest Day Camps tuition cost is $480 per week. To complete your child’s registration and secure their spot at Playforest Day Camp, we will collect a non-refundable deposit of one half (1/2) of the full tuition ($240 deposit), due at the time of registration. The remainder of the tuition is due no later than the start date of your child’s camp.
– Campers bring their lunch from home. Playforest will provide daily nutritious snack options for all campers. Lunch must be nut-free. See more information about tree nut allergies here, including a list of potential nut allergen ingredients.
– Campers must bring a “Daily Camp Pack” that will contain supplies to keep your child comfortable and ready to play! The Daily Camp Pack should include the following (all securely labeled with your child’s first and last name wherever possible!): two full changes of clothes (each outfit should be contained in it’s own zipper bag), sunscreen of your choice, a comfortable hat to shade the head and face, lunch in a box or bag, water bottle that your child can use independently. Please feel free to speak with Playforest staff if your child may need to bring additional items with them to Day Camp but we do find it best to limit bringing extraneous items whenever possible!
