New Preschool Summer Camp "Side-Kicks"

A camp "tester" for both adult and child

By Joyce Campbell, Macaroni KID Southern RI Publisher June 10, 2024

Summer Camp can be a stressful time of year for both children and adults. 
Some are not quite ready to take on this adventure without their familiar adult, and this new camp tester might be just the thing!






Held at the Tri Pond Park Nature Center in South Kingstown, each camp takes place on a Friday and has an AM or PM option.  The camps follow the theme of the weeks preschool camps, only you, the adult, get to go with them!


Open to children aged 1-7, 
this preschool camp is one to enhance your little ones learning experience.  


Joyce’s Jungle Side Kicks Camp is a special one-day mini-camp for you and your little one! Summer camp you both will love! Each day will run almost like one of our summer camps, filled with crafts, games and weather permitting exploring walks too! Choose one, two, or maybe all of them! Space is limited, so please register early! Pack a small snack, water and have your mini camper wear sneakers. This is a single-day mini-camp for both child/adult pairs. We kindly ask that all children register for this minicamp and that no “tag a longs” join us. Dress to make a mess!
