Thanksgiving Camp 2026: Dates, Hours & Ages
School’s out for Thanksgiving week… but work definitely isn’t. And the last thing you want is your kiddo spending three straight days glued to a screen, bored, disconnected, and melting into the couch.
Let us help.
From Monday 11/23 through Wednesday 11/25, we're hosting our Thanksgiving Break Camp at Systems Training Center: a hands-on, movement-filled, creativity-boosting day that gets kids OFF screens and fully engaged with real-world fun.
Small groups. Big energy. Tons of enrichment.
And zero guilt for parents.
Your child will spend their days building, creating, learning new skills, moving their bodies, meeting new friends, and actually using their imagination instead of swiping through another algorithm. Meanwhile, you get to work (or breathe!) knowing they’re safe, active, and happy.
Dates:
• Monday, Nov 23
• Tuesday, Nov 24
• Wednesday, Nov 25
(Join for 1 day, 2 days, or all 3!)
Camp Hours: 8:30am to 5pm
Ages: 5 to 12

Spots are very limited: only 25 kids per day. We intentionally keep camp small for safety, connection, and real engagement. Thanksgiving week always fills up fast, so grab your child’s spot while they’re still available.
Let’s trade screen-time for skill-building, boredom for creativity, and couch-potato days for movement, confidence, and connection.
Register now and enjoy a stress-free holiday week knowing your kiddo is thriving, not scrolling.
