The Future Stars camp day typically runs from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm. For added flexibility, most locations also provide early drop-off and extended day programs with supervised activities before and after camp.
Future Stars maintains a low staff-to-camper ratio, usually 1 staff member for every 4–8 campers. Ratios may vary slightly by program and age group, but your child will always have personalized attention to support their emotional and physical growth.
A typical day at camp varies by location. Generally speaking, day camp runs from 9am to 3pm with options for early drop-off and extended care available until 6pm. Campers spend their days practicing, developing skills, playing, and engaging with other campers.
Adjustments such as changing the week you attend camp may be possible, pending availability. To see if it’s possible to make changes, contact your local Future Stars office directly via phone or email.
Campers are grouped by a variety of factors, including age, ability, and social needs. Friend requests are honored whenever possible, and groups are flexible to help kids thrive and build friendships.
Each campus has designated morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up windows. Staff members supervise arrivals and dismissals to ensure safety is maintained throughout the entire day. With a ratio between 4:1 and 8:1, each child receives plenty of attention throughout pick-up and drop-off. Select locations also offer door-to-door transportation for eligible families.
Daily essentials include a water bottle, sunscreen, lunch/snacks (or lunch plan if available), swimwear, towel, and athletic shoes. Parents receive a detailed information before camp begins, outlining any program-specific needs.
