Jaguar Summer Day Camp Guide

PROGRAMGUIDE

WELCOME BACK! WELCOME BACK!

When camp concluded in the summer of 2019, we had no way of knowing then about the pandemic that would impact the world.

Now that we're back to a semblance of normalcy, we are thrilled to bring back Jaguar Summer Day Camp to the campus of IUPUI!

Our camp serves youth ages 5-12, and offers a variety of traditional activities as well as fun enrichment options sure to appeal to both the campers and their adults.

Swim lessons will again be included for every camper at no additional cost to the family. We believe that swimming is a life skill, and are proud to offer this as a core component to our day camp.

We look forward to providing your camper with a fun and safe experience this summer!

Build Confidence In Your Child Through Hands-on Learning

Children are meant to learn through play. When children are actively engaged in hands-on, interactive learning activities, their creativity flourishes and they show a greater interest in school. At Snapology we help your child grow up with a thirst for knowledge. How do we do it? Snapology engages campers ages 5-12 using LEGO® bricks, K’Nex and technology. While the kids are having fun with familiar toys, we sneak in the educational concepts. Shh, don't tell them it's educational!
