GROW, LEARN, AND SHINE

Future Stars Little Stars Camp is designed for young campers, offering a supportive and engaging environment where children grow physically, socially, and emotionally through play-based exploration. Guided by trained education professionals, campers build confidence and independence while enjoying a comfortable, inclusive setting.

Each day features a balanced mix of sports, arts and crafts, music and dance, recreational games, and free swim. With a low 5:1 camper-to-counselor ratio at camp, campers receive individualized attention and encouragement as they develop foundational skills and form friendships.

We offer an Extended Day option for our 4 and 5 year olds: Campers stay in Little Stars from 2-4pm for an additional $250 per week, where they'll participate in recreational play and swim.

Campers must be potty trained.

Character Education at Future Stars

S.T.A.R.S. stands for Safety, Teamwork, Attitude, Responsibility, and Sportsmanship. These interconnected values define what it means to be part of the Future Stars family and show campers how one positive choice can strengthen the whole community. By understanding and practicing these values, campers learn the impact they can have on their team, their peers, and the world they live in.

Each day, our professional coaches and educators highlight one value through fun, hands-on activities. Campers discuss why it matters and put it into practice in games, challenges, and outdoor adventures. Whether on the baseball field, in a chess match, or on a paddle board, we help every camper develop the skills and confidence to shine as a Future Star in any community.
