Kiwi, by popular demand has now started a 2 year old program. The program will have a total of 10 campers and 3 staff members. One Head staffer, who's a parent or teacher and two collegiate group leaders. The day will be from 9-12:30 and will include fun activities such as art, music, dance, pet farm, age appropriate sports, playground, beach play, sprinklers and much more. A daily snack will be provided! We look forward to Kiwi's 2 year olds!!

3,4 & 5 Year Olds

The Kiwi Nursery (ages 3-4) and Kindergarten (age 5) are separate, coed, and self contained programs that are directed by early-childhood teachers. It is a camp within a camp with many of the activities of the main camp along with it's own program of 'low keyed' academic readiness programs.

The 'Lower Camp' is very much the part of the entire camp experience. Some of the activities include Arts and Crafts, Music, Dance, Drama, Petting Farm, Nature, Mini-Golf, Low Ropes Course, all Sports, Boating, Swimming (Instructional and recreational), Beach Play, Playground and much more. The instructional swim is highly supervised by many Water Safety Instructors and Lifeguards who follow the American Red Cross Program. All is done in heated state-of-the-art pools.

Kiwi also operates a year round Kindergarten and Pre-school. Visit the Kiwi School website.

Each week is a new and exciting theme and a new schedule. Every Friday is entertainment day. Swimming takes place twice a day in our heated swimming pools; once being an instructional swim and once being a recreational swim.

6 through 13 Year Olds

Beginning at age 6, boys and girls are separated and grouped according to the grade they'll be entering in the
fall. The 6 and 7 year olds have a teacher or senior staffer with two collegian group leaders, and a High School Senior with 15-18 in a group. The 8-13 age group have one collegian group leader with 12 campers. The Group Leader follows a scheduled program moving from one activity to the next every 40 minutes. In addition, every activity has 2 activity specialists leading each activity. The ratio is always 4:1 when they are in the activities. Ages 8-13 may attend Kiwi 5 days a week or 3 days a week.

Counselors in Training

The 'Counselor in Training' program introduces the counseling experience to our 14 & 15 year-olds with the
hope that one day they can be recruited as members of our staff. The C.I.T.'s will assist the senior staff and counselors with their groups in their choice of activities.. Here all the basics of counseling are taught from how to conduct activities to learning the basic leadership skills. In the afternoon the C.I.T.'s follow their own schedule continuing to use what they have learned.

The C.I.T. program for 14-15 year olds provides your teen with an opportunity to learn and experience leadership and organizational skills. These will become an important part of your child's developmental skills that they will use throughout life. The 16 year olds, having completed the first two years of CIT, will have an opportunity to become a full time Intern. After being an Intern, they will then have an opportunity to become part of Kiwi's dynamic staff.
