My First Messy Camp

CAMP EXPERIENCE

My First Messy Camp is a happy, playful introduction to summer camp made just for toddlers and young preschoolers. Meeting once a week, this camp brings all the fun of camp in a gentle, age-appropriate way—perfect for first-time campers or children who thrive with routine, flexibility, and lots of hands-on play.

Each week features a new summer-inspired theme filled with sensory play, music, movement, stories, and simple creative activities. Think scooping, splashing, dancing, painting, exploring, and getting just a little bit messy. Caregivers stay with their children throughout the session, sharing in the fun and offering comfort and encouragement as campers explore at their own pace.

Every camp day follows a familiar rhythm with time to play, move, create, snack, and celebrate together. The predictable flow helps little campers feel safe and confident, while open-ended, process-based activities invite curiosity, imagination, and joy. There’s no pressure to perform or produce—just summer smiles, first friendships, and memories in the making.

A TYPICAL DAY AT CAMP

Camp meets one day per week and follows the same happy, gentle flow each session so children know what to expect:

Welcome song and playful theme introduction
Open sensory play across thoughtfully designed stations
Snack (Provided by The Tiny Mess Club) and story time
Movement and music games to wiggle and giggle
More open sensory play and exploration
A guided activity such as an art project or experiment
Goodbye song, bubbles, and a mini dance party

WHAT MAKES THIS CAMP DIFFERENT

Meets once per week for a fun, manageable first camp experience
Caregivers stay with their children for comfort, connection, and shared memories

Predictable, toddler-friendly routine that builds confidence and ease
Big chunks of open-ended sensory play (because play is the point)
Process-based activities with no pressure to make a “perfect” project
Small group size with consistent, warm, and supportive staff
