Lollypop Farm Camp @ Home brings fun animal-themed week-long virtual camp experiences right to your family, in your own home! Weeks are filled with a variety of live and self-paced activities to keep children engaged and entertained while learning about the pets they love!
How does Camp @ Home work?
ClassDojo: Camp families will receive login credentials to a private ClassDojo “classroom”. This will be the primary way that the campers, camp staff, and families will communicate (outside of live ZOOM calls). Campers will be encouraged to share and connect with their peers via the secure Class Dojo platform. (Parents will be able to check out their camper’s experience with their very own parent Class Dojo login!
Bitmoji Classroom: Morning emails and posts in ClassDojo will greet the campers each day and with a fun, interactive Bitmoji Classroom (interactive google slide) that will provide a variety of fun and educational self-paced activities.
Live ZOOM Sessions: There will also be a variety of live, in-person virtual sessions that will feature special guest speakers, group games, stories and real animals! Lollypop Farm will host 1 - 2 daily Live Zoom calls, and will last anywhere between 30-60 minutes, depending on the guest speaker, topic and/or activity. Zoom calls will typically take place at 11:00 AM EST, 1:00 PM EST, and/or 3:00 PM EST. The specific schedule will be shared with the Camp@Home participants via ClassDojo.
*To accommodate our campers in other time zones, we will not host a zoom session prior to 11:00 AM EST/8:00 AM PST
