Powered by GoogleWant to do a plug for Headfirst Camp at Mater Dei school in the winter for those who are trying to figure out what do for camp this summer! Last year was our first year doing camp for our rising 1st grader. I looked at a lot of options for an all-around camp and so glad we chose this one! We found enthusiastic counselors, well run pick up/drop off, swimming lessons (swimming skills much improved!), handled extreme heat days well, awesome arts and crafts and STEM projects, and fun after-care. My kid had a great time and wants to go back! We will definitely be signing up again this summer.
Great pool for kids and activities for the young ones in summer camp.
Very well run program. Professional staff.
Headfirst is an amazingly run camp that brings smiles to campers’ faces every day. The heads of the camp really care, and the counselors are great. They have different types of camps for different interests (sports, Lego engineering, standard day camp...), so kids can have a variety of experiences in the same great Headfirst atmosphere.
