Interested in KinderCamp™? 

This targeted intervention program, provided free to families, is a signature early education initiative coordinated by United Way of Northern Arizona with local school districts. It is held during the month of June and facilitates successful transition for students going into kindergarten who have minimal preschool experience and meet other eligibility criteria.

 

In KinderCamp, students learn much more than their letters and numbers. They also get familiar with following teacher's directions, eating in a cafeteria setting, and working cooperatively with other students. The biggest transformation for these students, according to their parents, is their increased confidence and excitement about starting school.

 

To have your child considered for KinderCamp, please fill out an interest form at this link (en Español) by May 9, 2025. Notification of your child’s KinderCamp approval will be emailed to you by May 12, 2025. 

 

Where: Thomas Elementary 

When: June 3, 2025 through June 27, 2025 from 8:00am-1:00pm 

*No school on June 19th for the Juneteenth holiday
