Peabody Summer Camp
Peabody Summer Camp is a two-week long adventure hosted by Miss Kim and her experienced staff. Each day brings on new fun, excitement, challenge and exploration! This year we will be going on a safari at the Richmond Zoo, working as a team at Laser Tag, swimming at Lake Sherando and Fry’s Spring Beach Club, exploring the mystery of the Endless Caverns, plus much more! Peabody Summer camp is a great way for our children to cooperate with campers of different ages, explore their own interests, take new healthy risks, and start their summers off with two weeks of fun!
