Specialty Camps: Go Deeper Into What You Love

For families looking for something more focused, our Specialty Camps let campers dive deep into a particular passion — from engineering and entrepreneurship to the arts and academic enrichment. We offer programs across grade levels, with several designed especially for our youngest learners in TK through grade 2.

This summer’s TK–K highlights include Harry Potter Camp, where young witches and wizards spend the week brewing potions, learning wand techniques, and playing Quidditch; Around the World Adventure Camp, where campers “travel” to a new country each day through crafts, music, games, and snacks; LEGO Brick Engineering with Mr. Kasper, where real-world STEM concepts come to life through themed builds; Sweet Treat Market, where junior entrepreneurs make, market, and sell their own creations at a grand finale market day; and Academic Foundations Camp, a four-week program that gives incoming TK students and kindergarten-bound campers a meaningful head start in literacy and math.

For our grades 1–6 campers, the lineup is just as exciting. Improv Camp puts creativity and quick thinking center stage through drama games and spontaneous storytelling. Creative Writing takes grades 1–3 on a two-week storytelling adventure, with campers leaving with a mini author portfolio of their own stories and artwork. Sewing Camp gives grades 2–6 a genuinely useful creative skill, guiding campers from threading a needle to full machine operation. Rounding out the offerings are LEGO Brick Engineering, Sweet Treat Market, Art Camp, Lit Camp, Sports Camp, and Woodworking Camp — each available across a range of grade levels.

Whether your camper is returning for another unforgettable summer or joining us for the very first time, we are ready to make Summer 2026 one for the books. Don’t wait — spaces fill fast! Explore our full lineup and register today at our Summer Programs website.
