Summer Camps for Kindergarteners, Toddlers + Preschool Age Kids (5 & Under)
We are here to help you locate summer camps for those hard-to-find age groups, including teenagers and PRESCHOOLERS! It seems there are plenty of camps for elementary-age kids, but we’ve also tracked down local camps for ages 5 & under to help you find a preschool or kindergarten summer camp near you.
{Side note – this is how Lakeland Mom got started – I was searching for summer camps when my kids were 4 & 6 and had a hard time finding anything for the younger one, so I decided I’d make a website where I could list summer camps!}
If you’re looking for a toddler summer camp, preschool summer camp, or summer camps for kindergarteners near you in the Lakeland or Winter Haven area, this list is for you. There is no set theme for these camps, other than the ages they cover – summer camps for 3 year olds, summer camps for 4 year olds, and summer camps for 5 year olds.
Please check directly with camp organizers for the most up-to-date details. All information on our website is for informational purposes only and each listing includes a link directly to the source.
