Preschool Day Camp

Landon’s Preschool Day Camp (PDC) has provided summer fun for boys and girls through creative, stimulating, and purposeful age-appropriate activities. Campers spend time outside enjoying Landon’s beautiful campus and participate in instructional sports, water play, nature walks, and free play on the playground and in the sandbox. Indoor activities are designed to encourage friendship, team spirit, and social awareness and include drama & movement, music, DEAR, art, and science. Special theme weeks offer a variety of crafts, science, and maker activities and assemblies are held on campus throughout the summer. We are proud to offer a five-to-one camper-to-counselor ratio. Our staff’s enthusiasm, skill and experience with young children are paramount to the camp. A knowledgeable and qualified teacher, an assistant teacher and a junior counselor comprise the team for every group. Campers are grouped by age and friend requests will be accommodated when possible. 

Campers must be 4 years old by June 9, 2025. All campers MUST be fully toilet trained and have graduated from training underwear before camp begins. Please see Landon Summer’s Toilet-Trained Policy and definition. Landon Summer reserves the right to dismiss campers who demonstrate that they are not toilet-trained to the standards of the policy.
