Camp Viva started as an idea to shake things up. Not every active child wants to spend their summer at a sports camp, and not every child with a creative side wants to spend a week at a theater or arts & crafts camp. Camp Viva gives kids the power to craft their week to fit their individual needs.
Camp Viva will run for two weeks during the summer of 2024. It will be held at CATS Academy in Braintree, MA from 9 AM - 2 PM Monday-Friday. The camp is open to children entering grades K-6 (must turn 5 years old by Sep 1st, 2023). We also offer a CIT program for 7th and 8th graders. We will also offer an early morning drop off at 8:00am for an additional $15 per child, per day.
The Camp Viva Kindergarten program is in its fifth summer; children entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2024 can attend Camp Viva for a specialized, half-day or full-day kindergarten program where they get a taste of a number of different age-appropriate activities. Kindergartners operate as a separate cohort and DO NOT select a specialty.
Camp Viva is comprised of two components:
1. Specialty
Each child will select a specialty that they will participate in for 2 hours daily.
Options include: Lights-Camera-Act!, Craft-It!, Compete!, Paint-it! and STEAM Challenge!
See our Specialties tab for more info on each!
2. Electives
Every morning, your child will have the option to choose 2 electives to get a taste of something fun and unique! Everything from Gaga Ball to improv games, Spanish games to dance, ceramic painting, cupcake decorating and so much in between-- the opportunities are endless for your child to try out something he or she has always wanted to but never had the chance! In summer of 2023, over 90 different electives were offered throughout the week.
See our Electives tab for more info!
