SummerKids camp is an exciting and engaging way for kids to spend their summer. Each week, we explore a different theme through games, movement activities, science investigations, camp songs, arts and crafts, environmental awareness, and community building. More importantly, in small groups of 8-12, all youth get to make new friends, connect with caring adults, and discover their sparks in a low pressure, supportive, and fun environment.
All camps take place from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.—Location TBD (local elementary school in Bend)!
Extended care options are available. See Camp Details.

- Water Wednesdays featuring bounce houses and water slides
- Weekly field trips for 5th and 6th graders
- Lower ratios for kindergartners to practice the social emotional skills that will prepare them to transition to elementary school
