Top 5 Reasons to Choose KidsPoint Summer Camp
Finding the right summer camp means finding a place where your child is safe, engaged, and excited to learn and grow. At KidsPoint, we’ve spent over 40 years creating high-quality child care experiences families can trust - and our Summer Camp is no exception. Here are the top five reasons families choose KidsPoint year after year:
1. Safe, Trusted Care You Can Count On
Your child’s safety is our top priority. Our highly trained staff are certified in CPR, First Aid, Mandatory Child Abuse Reporting, and more. With ongoing training in areas like trauma-informed care, behavior support, and cultural competency, our team creates a safe, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.
2. Engaging Activities That Kids Love
No two days are the same at KidsPoint! From weekly pool days and exciting trips to Iowa Fossil Park and Lost Island Water Park to martial arts, cooking projects, and team-building games, there’s something for every interest. We even end the summer with a Fun Day featuring an inflatable waterslide!
3. Learning Disguised as Fun
Behind every activity is a purpose. Our Education Coordinators oversee lesson plans that support social-emotional, physical, and cognitive development. Kids build confidence, independence, and friendships all while having an amazing time.
4. Convenient for Busy Families
We know summer schedules can be a challenge. That’s why KidsPoint offers convenient weekday hours from 6:30 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., with openings at KidsPoint Downtown (318 5th St SE, near the Cedar Rapids Public Library). Plus, families receive a full summer calendar in advance to stay informed and prepared!
5. A Well-Rounded Experience for Every Child
From large motor outdoor play every day to structured enrichment activities, KidsPoint creates a balanced experience tailored to each age group. We even gather feedback from kids to make sure activities reflect their interests, because summer should be as fun as it is meaningful.
