There are so many fun summer camps with a range of subject matter for little kids! It’s exciting to find out about all these opportunities… good luck making up your mind. :)

I did not list the camps in any particular order. Some of them have early bird discounts for registering in February, which was a surprise to me so I wanted to get it out there as soon as possible!

Please note that I focused on camps for ages 0-6, but if you click on the links for each camp there are most likely options for older children as well. Each camp name is the link to the website for more information.
