Arrival
Morning arrival takes place at FXW’s Old St. Patrick’s Campus on a staggered schedule starting at 8:15am with activities scheduled to begin at 9am. As soon as campers arrive, they’re met by a friendly member of our staff, or one of our Counselors-in-Training, who takes them to their applicable camp session home for the week in Jiggy the Jaguar’s Jungle.

Pack
A pack is a close-knit group of 10-12 campers and 2 counselors who navigate the day as a unit. The pack attend swimming together, eat lunch picnic-style, convene as a team during camp-wide competitions, and more. No matter where the day’s excitement may take them, campers can always return to the familiar faces of their pack.

While younger campers (entering PK- 2nd grade) stay grouped with their pack throughout the day and follow their age-appropriate schedule, older campers (entering 3rd-7th grade) get to choose the activities they enjoy most by customizing their day.

Our Elective Program introduces a co-ed environment where campers can specialize in activities that they enjoy most as well as meet other campers based on their common interests.

Whether your child wants to be part of a team that makes it to the Sports League finals, paint like Picasso or become a master chef at cooking, the choice is theirs.

They have opportunities to venture out into different configurations to attend specialized Enrichment Courses. Our most senior campers (entering 8th-9th grade) are given the option to join a pack as a Counselor-in-Training. Click on the tabs below to learn more about each of these programs

Lunch
Campers will be provided with lunch daily. There will be a rotating child friendly menu to provide each camper with a hot meal as well as fresh fruits and vegetables.   

Camp-Wide Events
Some of the most unforgettable camp experiences happen when counselors, campers, staff, and CITs all gather in one place. It’s in these moments that the spirit of FXW’s Camp Jaguar is most deeply felt, so we make sure to work in lots of opportunities to come together. From talent shows to pack wars to special performances of all kinds, each day at FXW’s Camp Jaguar is full of excitement, tradition, and more than a few surprises!

Dismissal
At the end of the day, caretakers can pick up their campers right where they dropped them off, in front of the FXW’s Old St. Patrick’s School location. For those who don’t want the fun to end, we also offer an extended day program until 6 pm. Click on the After Camp Care tab below to learn more.

FXW’s Camp Jaguar is a fantastic opportunity for your Pre-K through Grade 7 child to build life skills, make friends, learn social skills, and gain confidence that can last a lifetime.

Through our age-appropriate activities and games, we encourage active participation all while having fun. If it’s not fun, it’s not worth doing!

With every day comes a new adventure packed with new experiences. Whether it’s making elephant toothpaste during Zany Science, playing sports, or cooling down as campers have 5-day-a-week access to a fully supervised swimming pool, this will be an unforgettable summer experience for your child.

Your child will be met at each activity by one of our specialists. Each of these educators have specialized in one of our activities and will take charge of that alone. We believe this provides your child with a more unique and structured experience, and it is our hope that they get the most out of each day.

Our experienced summer staff have a passion and enthusiasm for working with young people. Made up of group counselors, division heads, and specialists, our team is in place to provide maximum support for every camper to succeed. We also want to give parents peace of mind by allowing face to face daily updates from division heads.

To us, summer camp is a continuation of your child’s education, and we have structured Camp Jaguar to be a fun environment to learn lasting life skills and build new friendships.

This program provides a stimulating learning environment for students entering Pre-K through 8th grade. Programs are taught by experienced FXW teachers and include a wide range of offerings from extension learning, athletics, and STEAM.

Our Counselor in Training (CIT) program provides the oldest Camp Jaguar attendees with an opportunity to gain leadership skills under the direct supervision of senior counselors and a division head.

CITs are assigned to a pack for the summer and assist campers with their daily activities.  It’s a great way for kids to gain hands on childcare experience while being under the guidance of our more experienced staff.

We expect our CIT’s to be active participants and fully engaged throughout the day and provide substantial support with regular check-ins and a continuous feedback loop.

This ensures that they feel comfortable and capable as they refine the skills needed to navigate a wide range of situations involving young children.

For families who need extra time before picking up their campers, an after-camp option is available for Camp Jaguar until 6 p.m. Our After Camp program involves a mixture of semi-structured activities that allow campers to unwind after a full day of action. Families are welcome to sign up for After Camp during registration, or on an as-needed basis.
