What to Know Before Registration Opens

Our programs are open to children entering pre-K through 12th grade. Each age group has a tailored experience designed to promote learning, creativity, and connection. 
  • Li’l Place (Pre-K): Designed for our youngest campers, this program encourages social skills, creativity, and hands-on learning through nature projects, arts, music, and plenty of outdoor play. Children typically begin around age four and should be fully potty trained. The program is offered in six one-week sessions. 
  • Kinderplace (Kindergarten): Packed with fun and learning, Kinderplace is perfect for kids heading into kindergarten! Through creative play, hands-on activities, and social time, campers build confidence and make new friends. This exciting program runs in six one-week sessions.

  • SPLIT (Grades 10–12): Summer Place Leaders in Training (SPLIT) offers high schoolers hands-on workshops, team-building challenges, swim instruction, and off-campus adventures designed to boost confidence, teamwork, and real-world skills, offered in three two-week sessions. 
While 2026 details are still being finalized, full-day programs typically run from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a mix of enrichment classes and recreational activities. Half-day options are usually available for our youngest campers.
