Summer Camp
It's what we do best at The Philly Pad!
We invite children from 2 to 5 years old to get curious about the world around them. We aim to relevantly introduce empathy, collaboration and other key social emotional skills. We want your children to express themselves through music, movement, and making-a-mess! Our days are packed full of entertaining and engaging activities that will leave your children laughing, learning and TOADally loving their time at The Philly Pad.
At a Glance
Camp runs from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, Monday through Friday.
Early Morning Power Hour is available each day from 8:00 am to 9:00 am ($25/week)
Children ages 3-5 are always welcome & there are four designated weeks with special programming for children 2-3 years old.
Registration is by-the-week, so choose your child's favorite themes or join us for the whole summer!
It was great! My son had a wonderful time every day - which is most important, but I was also impressed with your communication and curriculum. "
