This camp section is tailored for Rising Pre-K (age 4 by August 31) and Rising Kindergarten campers.

Our goal is to give your young camper an unforgettable summer filled with activities that nurture their minds and bodies, encourage friendships, and foster independence and confidence. Each week, campers will dive into arts, science, and physical activities, all while enjoying plenty of water play. With a low camper-to-teacher ratio, we ensure every child receives personalized attention throughout their day.

Each week, campers will enjoy two engaging morning classes, selected prior to camp. The offerings, which change weekly, include Visual Arts, Performing Arts, Culinary, Robotics, STEM, and more. These focused sessions allow campers to dive deep into their chosen activities, exploring their passions through a variety of creative and hands-on experiences.

Afternoons are all about fun and variety! Campers will enjoy special guest performances, talent shows, counselor comedy skits, water days featuring giant water slides and snowballs, and spirited color team games. Each afternoon also includes a flexible activity period where campers can select from options like sports, yoga, art, fort building, and more, with choices refreshed weekly.

In Week 7, the fun ramps up for an unforgettable camp finale! Campers will participate in exciting field trips, daily water adventures, and team games, making the final week a celebration to remember.

Summer at McGehee offers a unique and enriching experience for young girls and boys while providing invaluable support to their families. Counselors in Training (CITs) play an essential role in fulfilling the program’s mission, helping create a fun and engaging summer for all involved.

As a CIT, participants gain hands-on experience in camp counseling and working with children. They’ll develop valuable camper-management, operational, and leadership skills while putting them into action.

Mornings are spent engaging with campers across various age groups, building leadership skills through guided activities and classroom involvement. Afternoons bring the fun! CITs dive into exciting events like water days, talent shows, team games, and more.

This summer, CITs will grow in experience, confidence and skill—learning about themselves, early childhood education, and what it takes to thrive in the professional world. And yes, they’ll have plenty of fun along the way!
