Weekly Themes 2025:
June 16-20, Week 1: Disney Days
Hakuna Matata it means no worries…Let it go. Let it go…Under the Sea…Be.Our.Guest! We don’t talk about Bruno. You get the idea? We will have a HOT DOG DIGGITY time this week while we pretend we are in the most magical place on earth...DISNEY!
June 23-27, Week 2: History Explorers
This week is all about exploring the “Olden Days”. Did you know that before electronics and modern technology was a world filled with wonder? We will make toys to fill our days with fun, learn how our ancestors dyed fabrics and washed clothes. Kampers will churn butter, collect “eggs” from their “chickens” and have a good old-fashion time!
July 30-3, (closed Friday the 4th) Week 3: Stars and Stripes
Show your patriotic spirit and celebrate the 4th of July! Kampers will make firework themed art, no-bake 4th of July dessert and straw rockets. We will also discuss why we celebrate July 4th and have a bike parade. You won't want to miss this independence day fun!
July 7-11, Week 4: Kamp Hogwarts
Step through platform 9 ¾ onto the Hogwarts Express. When we arrive to Hogwarts, be prepared to be sorted into your houses by the sorting hat and let your wand choose you! Students will participate in Potions class, a Tri-Wizard Cup and try to catch the Golden Snitch in a game of Quidditch. I solemnly swear that we will be up to SO MUCH FUN.
July 14-18, Week 5: KTK Forest School
This week Kampers will experience what it’s like to be part of a nature school, spending their days outside, exploring and learning. So many adventures to be had! We will start with a compass-led treasure hunt, apple boat races, creating ‘Bug Hotels’ and exploring Mud Kitchens. Kampers will also take part in many nature based art projects, plant flowers and design sun catchers. Parents be prepared to send extra clothes and lunches that can be eaten on the go!
July 21-25, Week 6: Kamp Construction
Curious and creative Kampers will use various building materials to enhance their imagination. Tall Towers, cute critters, cityscapes —what will YOU want to create? Put your skills to the test and even take part in a construction challenge.
July 28-August 1, Week 7: Kamp Wild Sense
This week be prepared to use your senses! Embark on many DIY experiment adventures. Spend days having fun in the water with slip & slides, water tables and water wars. We will have some taste challenges and try out some optical illusions.
August 4-8, Week 8: Pokémon
Gotta catch them all! This week we will create our very own Pokémon and design a card for them. We will play games for our Pokémon to interact with each other and discuss all things Pokémon. Don’t worry if you aren’t a Pokémon Trainer yet, you will be by the end of the week!
August 11-15, Week 9:Color Wars
You do NOT want to miss this week! Kampers will divide into teams by colors, competing in a field day with games such as Tug-A-War with a twist, Human Tic-Tac-Toe, Marshmallow Blasters, Shower Cap/Shaving cream toss, pool noodle building races, capture the flag and MUCH MORE!

Testimonials from Happy Kampers!
"We LOVE the camp shirts this year. I love that they are light weight and more like an athletic shirt. My son put it on this morning and said, 'This feels great!' It is obvious how much hard work you put into this program every year. I just wanted to let you know that it does not go unnoticed and that our family appreciates all you do. This is such a great camp!!" -Stacy
"Summer Kamp was an adventure our son will never forget! From the weekly swims, field trips and outside fun, the teachers couldn’t have added any more activities to the schedule! I loved that the kids were still learning as the teachers weaved in educational lessons throughout the week." -Megan
"My older son has attended Summer Kamp for two consecutive years, and it’s something he now looks forward to each year. He was overheard at a recent play date telling a friend, 'You should go to Kamp—you go on a field trip and go swimming every week!' He can’t wait to be reunited with old friends and teachers, as well as find out what new adventures await him in the summer months. His little brother will join him this year, and from the glimpses of Kamp he’s seen at drop off/pick up and the stories of field trips, and swimming, and fun times—oh my!—big brother has shared, this little guy couldn’t be more excited to be part of the gang this year." -Heather
“My two daughters went to Summer Kamp for two summers in a row. They loved it! They especially loved the small number of kids, the really fun counselors, the weekly field trips, and the school-based setting. Every day was fun yet there was a structure to the day and the counselors were very organized and responsible. I honestly cannot think of one negative experience we had with Summer Kamp. I would highly recommend it to any family. Check it out!” -Kim
"Our son loved the one-on-one attention he received from the staff, and the field trips and various weekly adventures kept him excited and engaged. We are truly thankful for all the Kamp staff did to make him feel welcome and included!" -Emilie & Sean
