Our final week of the summer program concludes with Week Thirteen, or as we like to call it, Microbopper Week. Microbopper Week families arrive and depart on Saturday, as is typical for the other weeks of summer, but Microbopper Week is unique in that this week’s program is specially designed for families with children ages 6 and younger, with the Crawdads (5-6 year olds) as our oldest kids group.

Parents take a well-deserved break while their kids from 9 months through 6 years participate in daily, age-appropriate programs. The little ones are in the capable hands of our Stanford student staffers for this special week so that parents are free to nap, kayak, read, attend adult programming, i.e. guided hikes, book discussions, tennis sessions, yoga, meditation, arts, crafts, etc., or simply decompress. Tip: Fewer families apply for this week, so you could be at Camp in a snap!

Microbopper Kids Groups

All kids’ groups are led by our tremendous summer staffers.  The Micro and Macro Rooms are additionally overseen by our childcare coordinators and receive management support.

• Microboppers (9-19 months old) are based in the Cathedral Room, with a diaper changing table, age-appropriate toys, cribs, and a napping area. Our staff will soothe cries, change diapers, engage inquisitive minds, and encourage play.

• Macroboppers (20-35 months old) are based in the Angora Room, where they read stories, take naps, get fresh diapers, eat their favorite snacks, and play with bubbles, when not riding the pontoon boat and going on walks with counselors.

• Guppies (3-4 year olds) play in “The Patch,” read stories, ride the pontoon boat, visit the Fire House, discover mermaids and other wonders of Camp, craft, and more with their dedicated counselors and co-Munchkins (Must be potty-trained).

• Crawdads (5-6 year olds) are the big kids on Camp for the week and often like to help out around Camp, but you can also find them playing in “The Patch,” reading stories, riding the pontoon boat, visiting the Fire House, and going on magical adventures to learn about the environment with their dedicated counselors and co-Snoopers.

We maintain our age guidelines as strictly as possible to provide the best experience for your child(ren).  Counselors do a wonderful job adapting to the varying personalities each week and adjust programming to meet the needs of the children so that each child has a great experience.
