Give your child a fun, active, and enriching start to their day with our PALMS Half-Day Adventure Camp in McLean.
Each morning begins at Scotts Run Field, where campers enjoy outdoor play, sports, and movement-based activities like soccer, games, and exploration in a beautiful natural setting. From there, we take a short, supervised 5-minute walk to Onelife Fitness - Tysons, where children cool off and build confidence during structured swim time and pool fun.
This program is perfect for younger campers or families looking for a shorter day while still experiencing the best of
PALMS—movement, adventure, social connection, and water play in a safe, small-group setting.
