Camp TBJ

Happy All Day @ Camp TBJ!

JUNE 24 – AUGUST 14, 2024

CATCH THE SPIRIT OF CAMP TBJ…

The Happiest Place Under the Sun!

Our premiere preschool Day Camp provides young children, 14 months through 6 years, with the most dynamic and extraordinary 8 weeks of summer fun! It is our Camp TBJ philosophy that early camp experiences must be adventurous and challenging, as well as nurturing and age/skill appropriate. Camp TBJ provides children with a strong sense of community while promoting friendship, character building, self confidence, independence, competence, sportsmanship, spirit and team building.

Our unique and multi-faceted programming offers campers opportunities to increase their athletic abilities, while expanding their creative horizons as they have fun and discover new interests! Our non-competitive atmosphere encourages exploration and promotes success.

Camp TBJ is proud to offer top-flight facilities that provide the perfect outdoor traditional camp experience:

    • Situated on 22 beautifully landscaped acres
    • Expansive Florin Family Splash Pad
    • Florin Family Turf Soccer Field
    • Sports facilities and equipment
    • State-of-the-art playgrounds
    • Nature trails

    • Outdoor facilities that are developmentally age- and size-appropriate and always child-friendly, including spacious tents for all groups and specialists
    • Air-conditioned indoor facilities… Camp TBJ’s programming is never disrupted by extreme heat or rain.

We have designed our Creative Calendar of Special Events that is unmatched in all of PLAYSCHOOL, PRESCHOOL, and KINDERGARTEN camping.

The Camp TBJ spirit is everywhere!

Camp TBJ has Registered Nurse on premises and the staff is trained and certified in CPR! Camp TBJ strives to be a peanut and tree nut free environment. Each day Camp TBJ provides healthy snacks and a delicious and nutritious child friendly lunch for its campers!

With an unmatched camper-to-staff-member ratio, each camp group is headed by an Early Childhood Professional and supported by outstanding counselors, ensuring that each camper’s individual needs are met; whether reapplying sunscreen, perfecting a golf swing, or giving a much-needed hug. As an added advantage of Camp TBJ, children who are enrolled in our Early Childhood Center for the coming school year are placed together to form our summer camp groups. This provides a definite benefit for the fall, as our campers bond with their peers and our talented and highly trained staff of teachers, counselors and specialists for every activity! Children thrive in a stimulating environment with familiar teachers and friends.

We invite you to preview the Camp TBJ division descriptions below. Camp TBJ programs for Babies with Parents/Caregivers are also available! We truly look forward to welcoming your child for the summer!
