We Are A Year Round Day Camp Program From September to June
Children need time and space to explore the world. Time to know what they want instead of wanting what adults want. When adults micromanage children’s childhood, they lose their satisfaction for life, which is why child-led activities are so important in the early years. At Kidwings they will experience real-life while they develop healthy boundaries in a nurturing environment. Small adventures, wilderness walks, mindfulness exercises, exposure to a new language, moments of silence or screaming, or moments of loneliness or safe spaces to express emotions, all these experiences along with clear and well-established limits, help the child gain confidence and independence.
