Designed for working families, SummerKids weekly camps give your child a place to feel creative, secure and empowered. With great indoor and outdoor spaces, SummerKids offers theme-based camps for young people, Kindergarten through 6th Grade, all summer long.
Monday through Friday, your child will learn valuable communication, teamwork and leadership skills as they play, learn and create with friends old and new. Each week, we explore a different theme through: movement activities, science investigations, music, arts and crafts, environmental awareness and working with members of our community, including special guest speakers and performances. 5th and 6th grade campers enjoy special trips into the community at least once a week!
Campers will be in groups of 8-12 kids based on grade. Staff to camper ratios will be approximately 1:8.

PROGRAM HOURS: 9:00 am - 3:30 pm
LOCATION: TBD
We are still finalizing our exact location for summer 2020. SummerKids is held at a local elementary or middle school in Bend. We partner with schools that have access to wonderful natural spaces and are walking distance to parks and trails.
COST:
Kindergarten: $215/week
1st-4th grade: $190/week
5th-6th grade: $215/week
Costs reflect a lower staff:youth ratio for our kindergarten group and field trips for our 5th-6th grade group. All camps are priced by the week and we do not prorate for daily attendance.
EXTENDED CARE OPTIONS: $6/option
While our regular programming runs from 9 am to 3:30 pm, we do offer extended care options for those with schedules that run longer than our program. When you sign up for extended care, you can drop off as early as 7:30 am or pick up as late as 5:30 pm.
Our flexible options allow you to choose AM or PM extended care by the day, so you are only paying for extended care when you need it.
