School break is something that kids look forward to all year. Parents, on the other hand, may have mixed feelings. On the one hand, the extra time to spend with kids, sans homework, is great. But for parents who work full time, suddenly losing the eight hours of childcare can be a challenge. How can kids be kept safe and occupied during that time, without sacrificing the family budget?
Introducing school break camp, a safe, fun, and even educational alternative for kids during school off-season. If your child is between the ages of 5 and 12, Parkland Children’s Academy is the place to go. With age-appropriate activities to keep kids entertained all day, not to mention the opportunity to make new friends, kids will have the time of their lives.

School Break Camp Activities
Our experienced, compassionate staff look forward to camp as much as the little ones do. Our goal is to provide a stimulating, safe environment that meets all the needs of developing kids: emotional, social, and physical. The main ingredient of a successful school break camp experience is staying busy while nurturing the creative and curious needs of young kids.
Below are some of the activities we offer:
Games And Athletic Activities
Healthy living is essential for all people, but especially young, growing bodies. School break camp offers plenty of activities to meet the physical activity requirements that childhood demands. Group activities such as soccer, kickball, and baseball offer physical activity as well as leadership and group bonding opportunities, as kids work together toward a common goal.
We also offer individual sports, such as gymnastics, so kids can challenge their limits in a healthy way. No matter the age or ability, there’s an activity that satisfies a child’s natural curiosity and helps build up their motor skills.
Fun Field Trips
While there’s plenty to do on school break campgrounds, occasionally we break out of routine and change things up with fun trips to water parks, bowling alleys, movie theaters, IMAX exhibits, and more! Ask one of our staff members what we have planned for this upcoming break.
Opportunities To Learn
School may be temporarily out, but opportunities to learn are not. Learning is something that can happen any time, and can be so fun, your child doesn’t even realize they’re doing it! But our staff are always curating activities that are as fun as they are educational. This may include going out in nature, science experiments, interactive smart boards, and more.
Different Themes Each Week
In case this list isn’t stimulating enough, each week of school break camp has a theme. It can be anything from American Idol Week to a talent contest. The sky is the limit!
Other Fun Activities
From bounce houses to music and dance to arts and crafts, we have something to offer every personality and ability level. When children are exposed to a variety of activities, even ones they may not normally go for, they might not only discover a hidden talent or interest, but also learn to broaden their horizons as well. This helps kids become more well-rounded individuals overall.
The Benefits Of School Break Camp
Children have fun and are kept safe without a ton of screen time, while parents can continue to work, that’s great enough, but the benefits of camp don’t just end there.
Kids will take home other valuable skills and memories, such as:
- Lifelong friendships
- Developing leadership skills
- An increase in independence after being away from home
- Connecting with nature
- Building resilience from losing a game or learning to make compromises with a group
