Fireflies (Rising Pre-K Ages 3&4)

Camp Themes and Details are Coming in December!

Our Fireflies program emphasizes emotional and social growth as campers prepare for Pre-Kindergarten.

Fireflies must be three years old by May 1, 2024, and fully toilet trained. No exceptions will be made.

Beauvoir Summer camps offer a safe, supportive environment where campers make meaningful friendships and explore weekly themes; through games, activities, stories, music, dramatic play, and arts and crafts, Fireflies strengthen their skills and build confidence.

Every day, campers spend time outside, among nature. Beauvoir Summer offers a singular experience to the Cathedral Grounds; counselors may visit the koi pond at Bishop’s Garden, picnic in the Amphitheater, or search for bugs on a hike through Olmstead Woods. Our one-of-a-kind educational play space is built into the camp’s daily schedule at the pool and Beauvoir Outdoors.

Fireflies Camp Themes and Details

Coming in December

Both half and full-day Fireflies will have 2-3 swim lessons per week. Lessons will occur with qualified instructors in the shallow end of the central Beauvoir Pool. In addition to this newly added swim lesson, all Fireflies will have a daily splash time at Beauvoir’s toddler pool. The Beauvoir Pool has certified lifeguards on duty throughout the camp day.

Swimsuit and Sunscreen Recommendations

We ask parents to send campers ready in their swimsuits (on their scheduled swim days) with sunscreen applied. A bathing suit with a separate top and bottom is preferred for ease of bathroom use. We also recommend sending in a sunscreen spray, reducing the need for counselors to assist with hands-on sunscreen application.

Registration will become available on January 24, 2024!
