Jr. Explorers | 3 Years Old - 1st Grade

Jr. Explorers campers begin or deepen a love for summer camp that can shape their whole childhood! They enjoy a full day of camp from 9:00am - 4:00pm. Campers spend their time with a consistent set of counselors each week. Due to our carefully maintained 5-to-1 camper to counselor ratio, each camper receives the individual attention they need to succeed within the group and have a special summer experience. Their small group of campers, moves together from activity to activity for a strong sense of safety and continuity. Campers are making memories and forming friendships that will last them a lifetime!
Please note that Jr. Explorers Camp includes a period of swim. If you do not want a swim experience for your camper, register for Jr. Discoverers Camp

Traditions in LINX Juniors Camps

Potty Training Policy

All campers must be fully potty trained prior to the start of their camp experience at LINX Camps. Campers must be able to use the bathroom on their own without wiping assistance as counselors are not permitted to touch campers in private areas. Campers who rely on swim diapers are not considered fully potty trained and cannot attend camp. We understand that all children develop their potty training at their own pace. If a camper is not ready for camp this year, we will apply 100% of their tuition paid towards camp for the following year in the hopes that they will be ready next year.

The communication portal (Family Dashboard) really sets the experience apart from other camps, when you're trying to navigate each week of the summer as a parent. And the pure joy that all the counselors and staff have for their jobs is amazing!"
