Dive into the Wild: Animal & Natural Adventure Camp
From May 26 through May 30, Jordan’s Corner invites children ages 4–7 to join our special Animal & Nature Adventure Camp at 8541 E. Anderson Dr., Ste 106, Scottsdale, AZ (behind Scottsdale School of Music). In this unique week-long program, campers will dig into soil labs, hunt for insects, craft with leaves and twigs, and meet live animals from worms, crickets, bunnies, and more all under the expert guidance of special guest Jungle Jill.
Camp Highlights
Live Animal Encounters with Jungle Jill
At 11:00 a.m. on May 28, 29, and 30, Arizona’s favorite animal educator brings up-close demos featuring worms, crickets, bunnies, and other critters complete with fun facts and gentle handling tips.
Hands-On Science & Gardening
Soil & Insect Lab: Campers examine soil samples, observe worms and crickets, and learn how these tiny engineers support our ecosystems.
Planting Workshop: Each child plants seeds in our on-site beds, discovering firsthand what roots need to grow strong.
Nature Exploration & Crafts
Scavenger Hunts: Explore our outdoor play lawn to collect leaves, identify insects, and spot hidden natural treasures.
Creative Crafts: Turn finds into art using leaf rubbings, twig sculptures, and personalized nature journals to record each day’s discoveries.

About Us
Jordan’s Corner is Arizona’s first indoor community enrichment and learning space for children ages six and younger—intentionally designed to foster multiple types of open-ended, inclusive play. With over 6,000 sq ft of air-conditioned, purposeful play areas, little ones can safely explore alongside parents, caregivers, and peers in a setting that blends playground, toy room, and classroom all under one roof.
Family owned and operated, Jordan’s Corner has become a home away from home for many local families to learn, play, and grow together. To prioritize caregiver comfort, we’ve created cozy seating nooks where adults can rest, gather, or even join in the fun. Our open-layout design ensures every child is visible from every corner of the room, while controlled restrooms and exits give caregivers peace of mind as their children engage in play.
Why Jordan’s Corner Stands Out
Jordan’s Corner combines playground, learning zones, and open play under one roof to create an inviting, safe environment for early learners:
Safety & Visibility: Cushioned specialty flooring, controlled restrooms and exits, and clear sightlines let caregivers relax or join the fun.
Variety of Activities: From climbing structures and interactive walls to cozy reading nooks and planting beds, every corner encourages discovery.
Family Comfort: Comfy seating areas invite parents and grandparents to unwind, connect, or participate alongside their children.
Expert-Led Events: Our calendar features local educators and performers—like Jungle Jill—bringing themed lessons and surprises year-round.
To keep Jordan’s Corner welcoming and supportive, we ask all visitors to:
Respect every child, family, and staff member.
Be Kind in words and actions.
Encourage Exploration—mistakes are part of learning.
Practice Patience—each child grows at their own pace.
Foster Community—share smiles, stories, and support.
