And just like that, March is upon us. I can feel summer inching upon me every day and could not be more pumped for what Summer 2022 has to bring! I had a wonderful month spending time with family and friends along with celebrating my birthday, Heath’s birthday, and Danny’s birthday. I wanted to send a big thank you to my Shibley family for all the birthday love. We shared a delicious birthday lunch together as a team and it was so nice taking time out of our day to celebrate in one of our favorite places.

Did you know that your child could also celebrate their birthday at Shibley, just like Heath, Danny and I did? Our beautiful, shady grounds provide the perfect outdoor venue to ensure the kids have a wonderful time safely outdoors. For our younger children, we can open our Green Giant, play fun organized lawn games, enjoy the playground, and offer an Arts & Crafts project. For our older children, we have our famous Adventure Park (ropes course) where the navigate through various obstacles in the trees that ultimately ends with a zip line. We are also super excited to share that starting in June, we are offering pool parties supervised by our lifeguards! We provide staff to watch the children and suggest local lunch and dessert options that best fit your group’s needs.

My grandson, and Shibley camper, Brody celebrated his 3^rd birthday at camp this past Fall and we had an absolute blast. He loved spending this extra time at camp beyond the summer months. Brody and his friends enjoyed playing tee-ball, running around in the Green Giant, playing in the sandbox, and making a crafts project. Please feel free to reach out to Danny (danny@shibleydaycamp.com) if you’re interested in having your next birthday party with us.  We have special discounts for our Shibley families. We hope to help bring your outdoor, camp celebration vision to fruition!
