One-Day Camps for Kids Ages 6-12
Thank you to our educators and campers who made summer 2025 amazing. For camps during the school year take a look at our school break camps.
The 2026 Summer Camp Guide will be available in January!
Register your child for a Friday One-Day camp, or a One-Day camp during July 4th week. In addition to hands-on activities with our STEM focus, campers enjoy museum exploration, outdoor games, and a pizza lunch.
Featuring weekly themes such as Extreme Cardboard Castles, Roller Coasters and Marble Games, or LEGO City, these one-day camps are great as stand-alone experiences or as additions to your child’s week of camp with us.
Register for camp by clicking on the date of the camp you would like your child to attend.
