For many kids, summer camp is the highlight of summer vacation. Now that the coronavirus is throwing a wrench into our usual summer fun, we've set out to create a virtual camp that gives kids ages 6-12 a unique camp experience that follows all the rules of social distancing.
Join Camp Cratejoy for either a free, interactive morning camp, or an all-inclusive program that includes bonus classes led by expert virtual camp counselors and activity kits with all the supplies you need that show up right to the front door. It's a fun way to make sure your kiddos can still enjoy a day camp filled with education and entertainment!
We've teamed up with the Girl Scouts of Central Texas, ZACH Theatre, and LEANSQUAD to recreate the magic of summer camp right in your own home, giving young campers a weeklong summer camp experience that will have them engaging in plenty of hands-on learning. Join in for some summertime fun, exploring science, art, cooking and more at Camp Cratejoy!
