DAY-TIME PROGRAMMING

TEIA will offer three programs in 2026 for youth ages 4-7, preteens/teens ages 8-12, and juniors 13-18 beginning Monday, June 29 and continuing through Friday, August 7.

Programs are designed to provide youth with supervised activities by age and peer group for their summer enjoyment. This year, sign-ups are offered by the week at $84, with a 10% discount applied for those signing up for the full six (6) weeks. Memberships are required to participate.

For the 2026 season, there will also be a morning program for ages 8-12 for those signing up for sailing as well. We will organize your child’s activities for camp, sailing, and tennis once we have confirmation of registration. If you are not choosing an all-day program with sailing, please register for the afternoon program for ages 8-12.

Kids' Camp

Kids’ Camp is open to children ages 4* through 7 and will run Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. There will be an afternoon session that runs 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. and an all-day option that includes supervised lunch between 12:00 noon and 1:00 p.m. Weekly programming is theme-based and activities include art projects, outdoor games, building activities and more!

The "Between" Program

The “Between” program offers activities for those youth ages 8-12 who are in between Kids’ Camp and junior activities. This afternoon program runs Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Fridays from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. If you are planning an all-day program, you can choose an AM program for 8-12 or a PM program, and we will place your child in the corresponding sailing program.

 

Activities are planned for small age-appropriate peer groupings. As in previous summers, we will offer outdoor sports, arts and crafts, and cooking. This year we continue to offer water activities as an extension of this program. These water activities will be supervised by a lifeguard and activities may include kayaking, paddleboarding, ninja, water golf and more.

Parents/guardians are required to sign a health form in the membership system.
