MiniBlast

Camp Overview:

We are pleased to offer morning or full-day sessions of the RPS MiniBlast Camp, where we inspire confidence and curiosity through thoughtfully curated experiences that support joyful learning, early friendships, and gentle discovery. Each day is infused with engaging activities that cultivate self-assurance and social connection in a warm, nurturing environment.

  • Flexible scheduling: Choose between morning-only or extended full-day options to fit your family’s routines. Register for one week or the whole summer.
  • Development through Play: Each day is thoughtfully designed to encourage exploration, creativity, and social-emotional growth in a warm, secure setting.
  • A nurturing atmosphere: Beautiful campus, attentive adult-to-child ratios, and a focus on safe, yet playful, exploration.
  • Foundational values: We emphasize kindness, confidence, and community—ensuring children leave each day proud, happy, and eager for more.

Spaces are limited—reserve your child’s place early to ensure they can take part in this enriching time discovery and delight!
