Meet Your Director:

"Miss Kris"

Hi! I'm Kristen Thomas and for as long as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a teacher.

With a Bachelor's Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with Teacher Licensure from Bluefield University, over 10 years of teaching experience in public education, PLUS homeschooling my own preschooler, I have found my passion in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for young learners.

I am so excited to provide a summer camp experience full of FUN THEMES, ACTIVITIES, and even sneaking in some LEARNING!

Outside of the classroom, I love spending time with my husband and two kids. We love to play at the park, have picnics, and enjoy time with friends!

Now, let's have a blast together this summer!!!

Let's get social!
