Camp REACH

Camp REACH (Recreation, Enrichment, Adventure, & Challenge) is EJRP’s exciting theme-based field trip camp with two home base locations: Thomas Fleming and Essex Elementary School! Each week will have its own unique theme exploring local state parks, area businesses, museums, and many other fun locations throughout Vermont.

Each day, campers will enjoy arts and crafts, physical activities, enrichment opportunities, and an off-site field trip or an on-site specialty event that revolves around the weekly theme. Mindfulness, STEAM, Wheels/Woods Day, and Dance Parties are special highlights each week. Campers will also have free time to play on the playground and explore their own interests.

This is a STARS accredited, State of Vermont Licensed Child Care Program. Financial assistance is available to qualified families through Child Care Resource, 802-863-3367.

Schedule, themes, and field trips subject to change pending availability and current Covid-19 guidance and regulations.
