Summer Camp builds confidence and independence and allows children to meet lifelong friends. Register for your summer today!

Plan summer based on your child's age, interests and scheduling needs.

Our dedicated and talented camp staff's number one priority is the safety and supervision of each camper. The ratio of campers to counselors is 10:1 for youth camps and 8:1 for early childhood and Discovery Camps.

Age

Camp can start as early as 2 1/2 years old with our early childhood team and can continue on until teen camp for high school sophomores. When registering you will register for the grade they are going into the fall 2019.

Interests

Our youth camps include three days a week of swimming at the Hunt Club Park Aquatic Center, multiple field trips each session, cookouts, as well as special events like our Cardboard Boat Races, Lip Sync Show, and fun-filled themed weeks. Early childhood camps enjoy weekly water play. From sports to nature, crafts and swimming we also have specialty camps available. Campers receive a camp t-shirt for each session enrolled and a camp backpack for the summer.

Flexible Scheduling

From full days to half days as well as three day a week options, one week options or the entire summer, you're able to plan what is best for your family. Full day camp options are available for age 4 to 15.

Outdoor fun.

Campers express themselves through a variety of activities that may include crafts, nature, games, sports, special events, field trips, cook outs, swimming/water play and themed weeks.

We're ready for you!
