Lights, Camper, Action!
Join us for winter camp at TCMU!
Get ready for the merriest adventure around… winter camp at TCMU!
Campers must be at least 5 years old to participate. Designed for K5-5th graders, each day will be a holly-jolly good time as we highlight a favorite holiday movie:
Frosty the Snowman (Monday), The Grinch (Tuesday), Elf (Wednesday), Polar Express (Thursday) and Home Alone (Friday).
We won’t be watching these movies— we’ll be immersed in them! The day will be packed with fun, STEAM-based activities, creating memories that rival even the best Christmas classics!

Camp Descriptions
Monday: Frosty the Snowman
❄️Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! ❄️
We may not get to see much of the white stuff in South Carolina, but we’ll see plenty during Frosty the Snowman camp! Campers will do a snow globe experiment and make their own to take home! They’ll also participate in a snowman building relay!
🎄 Get ready for a camp adventure that’s as magical as Frosty the Snowman himself! 🎄
Tuesday: The Grinch
🐶This is a camp experience even the Grinch would adore!🐶
Campers will help Grinch’s shriveled heart 💚 grow three sizes in a unique science experiment! They’ll also work together to build a new tree for Cindy Lou Who and burn off some energy with Grinch Tag!
❓WHO wouldn’t want to be a part of this Grinch-tastic day of camp? ❓
Wednesday: Elf
🎅🏻Don’t be cotton-headed ninny-muggins and miss out on this winter adventure!🎅🏻
Campers will become Santa’s helpers by making their own jack-in-the-box! They’ll also build sleighs, have a snowball fight and play 🚕 taxi cab tag!
🗽It’ll be more fun than Buddy’s journey from the North Pole to the Big Apple!🗽
Thursday: Polar Express
🚂 All aboard the Polar Express, destination: TCMU! 🚂
Campers will craft their very own edible Gingerbread Express. Decorate it with gumdrops, pretzel sticks and sweet surprises, just like in the movie! They’ll also embark on a collaborative team mission to move their train along the track.
