What are What's Up!'s hours?

What's Up! runs 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.

Who thrives here Ages 6–12

What's Up! fits middle-elementary campers — old enough for skill-building to land, young enough that friend-group dynamics and counselor warmth still matter more than program rigor. Parents at this age band tend to prioritize a balanced rhythm of structured activity and unstructured play, which is the actual differentiator inside any given traditional day camp program.
