Campers in Cool Kids join our Preschool family for days of fun and adventure.  We offer all the comfort of the 16th Street J’s PreK class with the perks of our summer camp activities, which includes:

  • Special entertainers

  • Field trips

  • Art and science

  • Sports and motion commotion

  • Swimming classes

  • Singing and cooking and more!

Because Cool Kids campers join our PreK class (which is made up of kids who are at least 4 1/2 years old), we must keep to our age minimum requirement.  Thank you for understanding.
