Age Groups
Kindergarten – Age 12
Our camp is perfect for school aged children (entering kindergarten fall 2024 through age 12). Campers are grouped by age and assigned a lead teacher who guides them through the week’s schedule. To create the best JJ's Jam experience possible, we have different schedules and rooms designed according to age group.
Our program has two calendars that will be released. Children entering Kindergarten through 2nd grade attend many of the same field trips and do similar activities, but with a different program and curriculum suited to their age. Children may learn about the same artist or technique, but projects will differ in complexity. On top of great activities, children are provided a consistent environment with familiar teachers as they explore throughout the summer.
For children entering grades 3 through age 12, we provide a Pros program. We maintain the same staff children know from JJ’s Jam, but offer new experiences on and off site. From kayaking to rock climbing to a Twins game to graphic design, children will have a variety of field trips and programming tailored to their age to go above and beyond your average camp experience!
Children Entering Kindergarten
Our youngest campers will create new memories as they prepare for Kindergarten and go on their first field trips! In the first week, they will learn how to ride the bus, eat their first bagged lunch, and prepare for the rest of the summer! Throughout the summer, they will do art, makerspace, sports, field trips and more as they build independence and skills for Kindergarten!
Children Entering 3rd & 4th Grade
Our 3rd and 4th graders will join our Pros program and get to explore even more of Minnesota! They will learn the skills of graphic design, font design, archery, kayaking, logrolling and more as they explore the Twin Cities. In addition, they will still attend field trips with the main program, including waterparks, sports programs, museums, art lessons, ninja gyms, and more throughout the summer.
Children Entering 1st & 2nd Grade
Our 1st and 2nd graders will build on the skills from school and past summers as they adventure around the Twin Cities on field trips from gymnastics to art in the park to waterparks and more! Children in this group attend the same field trips as our children entering Kindergarten, but with more age-appropriate activities and curriculum designed for this age group! They will swim, create, explore, and more throughout the summer!
Children Entering 5th grade Through Age 12
Our oldest campers will attend the same field trips as the younger Pros, but with additional opportunities and programming both on and off site. They will build independence and self help skills while delving deeper into programming for art, makerspace, sports, field trips, and more. From hours long games of Settlers of Catan to chess theory to 3D printing to paddleboarding to trying the foods of the Minnesota State Fair, they will have the freedom to dive into their interests throughout the summer!
