Outdoors Winter Exploration Day-Off Camp (Registration Fee)
December 26-27, 30-31 and January 2-3 | 8am-4pm
$60 per day ($50 per day for Smith members)

Playing outdoors in winter promotes physical development and well-being. Also, engaging children outdoors in the colder months as well as the warmer ones helps them learn about the seasons and the natural cycles of plants and animals. To share all the benefits of play year-round, Smith is hosting an outdoor drop-off day camp for children age 3-10 (must be fully potty trained) to play outside and explore nature through songs, games, stories, walks, and more! Please contact Rebecca at rebecca@smithplayground.org or 215-765-4325 x103 for the member discount code or for more details.
