    Outdoor Exploration

    by Columbus Adventure Club

    Columbus, OH

    **Base Camp Adventure Day šŸŒæā˜€ļø** This is what summer camp should look like ā˜€ļø Climbing trees. Balancing on a downed log. Creek water rushing over muddy shoes. Bug hunting. Fort building. And kids fully in it—laughing, exploring, and just being kids. This is our **Base Camp Day**, where we slow things down and give kids the space to **adventure, explore, and create** in the best way possible. We’ll spend the day outside playing in the woods, building forts, and letting curiosity lead the way. Then we’ll wind things down with a cozy movie, a build-your-own **sundae bar**, creative crafts, and classic summer camp games that bring everyone together. It’s the perfect balance of wild + calm… energy + connection… adventure + comfort. **Adventure Details:** * A full day to **adventure, explore, and just be a kid** * Outdoor exploration + classic camp fun * Movie, sundae bar, crafts & games included As always, this is a completely **electronics-free** experience—encouraging kids to stay present, get messy, and make real memories. Spots are limited—come **adventure, explore, and experience summer the way it should be** šŸŒž

    Open Gym

    98%

    by Gymboree Play & Music, Fremont

    Fremont, CA

    Open Gym Focus: Independent play with adult and child. What to expect in class: Children are given free range to explore the set-ups, with their adults within a hug’s reach. Let your child take the lead and run out some wiggles! Special Open Gym times will sometimes have extra activities like a no-mess art activity, a story-time or a surprise visit from Gymbo! Benefits: Physical:Allowing children to lead their own play offers time for them to try things repeatedly without worrying about the structure of a class, or trying something again they did in class earlier! Cognitive: Unguided play supports early brain development. Social: Sharing a space with mixed ages allows for children to learn and practice more sophisticated social skills and learn from their peers. Adults: Let your little one guide their own play, which has countless benefits. Spend quality time with them doing what they love to do, and mostly run out some energy!
