A final photo dump of our amazing graduates and an epic Last Day Party photo booth 📸🎉

Our Summer Celebration week has been fantastic! We were seeing double on Twin Day and had a great time at our Water Day today!

Don’t forget to join us for graduation tomorrow and our Last Day Party on Friday!

Our lost & found has been growing here at camp! If you see anything that belongs to your camper please make sure to pick it up before our last day. We will donate all unclaimed items when Q-Club ends. Thank you!

Good morning everyone!
As a reminder, tomorrow is an extended camp day in order to make time for all of our Olympiad activities! Supervision will be provided until 1pm. As always, you may pick up your camper at whatever time works best for you 😊
Thank you!

Just a few portraits of our sweet campers.

Our campers had a great time at Skyzone this morning! We also enjoyed todays Fashion Show when we returned from the playground!

We have a few things we want to share about tomorrow’s Talent Show! Campers should be dropped off at the front of the building, similar to a rainy day check in. Family members are also welcome to join us after signing in with the counselors at the check in table.

Our campers have been having a fantastic time during our Entertainment Week here at camp! We’ve gone on two field trips so far, to Adventure Racing and Hillbilly Fun Park. We will also be hosting our annual Talent Show this Friday!

This Friday we will be having our second special event day, International Soccer Day! The team lists will be posted by the check in/check out line tomorrow at camp. Make sure to find out which team your camper is on as well as what color t-shirt they should wear on Friday! It will also be extra important to bring a water bottle as we will be playing soccer all day at camp!

As always, a busy and wonderful week! ♥️

The Lost & Found table here at camp has been growing! If you spot an item that belongs to your camper please ask them to take a look or feel free to pick it up during either drop off or pick up!

We’ve had great participation during our Decades Week! Our campers and counselors also had a great time during our Night Watch field trip! We are excited to be having our first special event day tomorrow, Arts Fest!

We’re excited to begin our third week of camp tomorrow! We wanted to let everyone know that we will be having our Tie-Dye Day on Thursday. If your camper would like to participate please send them in with a white clothing item (t-shirts, socks, etc) and a plastic bag to store it in!

Wow! What a jam packed start to the summer we have had! Some theme day photos, and an amazing trip to Rock Sport here. Summer 2022, we love you!

Today I had the privilege of donating almost 200 homemade dog toys to the SPCA. Many Q-Club counselors helped make this possible by donating their time and old staff shirts to craft these braided beauties. We hope those pups love their new toys as much as we love our campers! We miss you and are wishing you a wonderful fall 😊♥️

As I spend time looking back on the wonderful photos from this summer, I find I can’t scroll past this one without sharing. This is a quick snapshot of camper artwork after our watercolor painting craft. I am proud that we have created a space where our campers feel safe and accepted to express themselves freely and to take pride in who they are. While we may not all share the same views, I believe that each of us can find joy knowing that we’ve created a community where kids can be kids, no matter who they are.

The counselors here at Q-Club would like to congratulate all of our 2021 graduates from this summer! Many of these campers have been coming to Q-Club since they were 5 and they have all made our lives more fun each year. We wish all of our graduates the best of luck with everything they will do in the future!

Hello everyone! It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is our last day of camp for this summer. We would like to invite the parents and siblings of our campers to join us for our Last Day Party! The party will begin at 10:30 and all of our events for tomorrow will take place outside. All of our counselors have appreciated getting to know your campers this summer and wish them the best of luck with school this year!

If you have any questions about tomorrow please let us know!

Dress like a counselor and twin day were a hit! Check out these cool kids 😎

Big smiles for Water Day! 😊

A good number of items were forgotten today at camp. Please remind your campers to stop by the Lost & Found tomorrow to claim anything that they might be missing!

Hi everyone! A quick reminder that tomorrow is Water Day at Q-Club. It is a good idea to send your camper here with a bathing suit, a towel, and a change of clothes. We will have dry activity options if your camper is at camp but does not want to get wet.

Our Lost & Found has continued to grow here at camp! If you see an item that belongs to your camper please encourage them to claim it. We will be donating any unclaimed items on the last day of camp.

This crew is full of fashionistas! Campers and counselors enjoyed walking the runway today and putting their design skills to the test in arts and crafts. We can’t wait for another amazing today tomorrow! Look out for an email soon regarding performance times; as a reminder, if you are coming to watch watch your camper, please wear a mask!

Only 2 days until our annual Talent Show!! Both campers and counselors have been hard at work. We encourage all campers to attend, regardless of whether or not they are participating; Come sit back and relax, cheer on your friends, and get a good laugh! We can't wait to see you 😄

This Friday, August 6th, is our annual talent show! Sign-ups began today and will be open until Wednesday; Each child is able to do one individual act and one group act.

If you would like to attend, you may arrive in the morning with your camper, or can stop by at any time during camp! If you would like to ensure that you get to see your campers' act and you are only available at a certain time, please email us @ [email protected] so we can make arrangements. All we ask is that you wear a mask and come ready to cheer these kiddos on! 🥳

Sign-ups begin tomorrow for our Talent Show on Friday! Please check your camper’s bag for a flyer with more information about the event! Here’s to another amazing week 🤩

It was a fun filled day on the fields; both 5-7 and 8-12 yellow teams took home victories! And after 7 years, Director of Group Leaders, Mike Oleynek finally left a champion!
But, what we are most proud of is that over 30 campers won sportsmanship awards for their support and positive attitudes! We have great kids. 🎉⚽️

Our Lost and Found is growing here at camp. If you see an item that belongs to your camper please remind them to claim it!

Tie Dye Day was a success! Our hands will be dyed for a week but it’s always worth it when campers get to see and wear their masterpieces! For best results, leave the tie dye in the rubber-bands until tomorrow after camp, then rinse in a sink until the water runs clear before washing alone in the washing machine!

Tomorrow is International Soccer Day at camp! ⚽️🎉Today, your camper was sent home with a colored wristband indicating what team they will be on; we will have plenty of colored pinnies but feel free to come decked out in your teams color!

The Kindness Rock garden at Hovey Pond Park got some much needed love thanks to our Q-Club campers’ donations! This week at Q-Club is all about giving back to our community; stay tuned to see what we do next!

A few photos of our AWESOME kids from the last few weeks 🎉♥️
