Camp Katan (Chesterfield) and Camp Koplar (Creve Coeur) are early childhood camps designed especially for our youngest campers. Each day is filled with music, storytelling, art, swimming (including both swim lessons and free swim), sports, nature activities, and more. Guided by early childhood educators, all activities are developmentally appropriate and tailored to campers ages 3 to 5 (pre-K). Campers staying for the afternoon enjoy a rest period. All participants must be fully toilet-trained (potty mastery) and at least 3 years old by the start of camp. Both camps are operated by the caring staff and teachers of the J’s Early Childhood Centers.
Full‑day camp runs from 9am–3pm, and half‑day camp runs from 9am–12:30pm. Lunch is provided for all full‑day campers! Limited PM Care options are now available at Camp Koplar/Creve Coeur! AM Care is not currently available for Camps Katan and Koplar.
