Vacation camp philosophy
At our Family Center, we believe that indoor and outdoor learning are both essential components of a well-rounded and meaningful educational experience. Indoor environments provide opportunities for structured learning, focused activities, and the development of fine motor skills. Outdoor environments offer opportunities for exploration, physical activity, and connection with the natural world. Both indoor and outdoor environments provide opportunities for children to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills, as well as creativity and independence. We believe in creating a balance between indoor and outdoor learning experiences to support the whole-child development of our students.

December, February, and April Camps
We will be providing more information about our winter camps soon. However we are excited to have the Red Barn as our main hub for all vacation camps. Our focus will always be outdoor recreation, but we will have a fun indoor playground to thaw off when we come in from the cold in the winter! The great thing about our vacation camps is that we won’t be traveling to other locations. The fun is HERE at PDC.
