KinderCrafts™ Winter Holiday Camp
KinderCrafts™ Winter Holiday Camp
Every December, KinderCrafts™ hosts a special Winter Holiday Camp for children, filled with hands-on activities, creative projects, stories, games, and festive fun. Our Winter Holiday Camp is an annual tradition, and the theme changes every year, so children who join us again always experience something new and exciting.
✨ This year’s theme:
“Winter Holiday Celebrations Around the World”
Children will explore how different countries celebrate the winter holidays through art, crafts, music, simple science activities, cooking projects, role-play, and cultural games. From decorations and traditional treats to stories and costumes, campers will “travel” across the globe while building creativity, confidence, and friendships in a warm, child-friendly environment.
Spots are limited each year, so we encourage parents to reserve early for our December Winter Holiday Camp.
