Enrichment That Builds Belonging
Our Enrichment Camps give kids the chance to explore subjects they love through hands-on learning and creative play. Each camp is designed to help kids build skills, gain confidence, and have fun while diving deeper into focused activities like cooking, LEGO engineering, art, and more.
Enrichment Camps run in weekly sessions, with a new theme or focus each week. This flexible format allows kids to try new interests, return for multiple weeks, or spend extra time developing skills in areas they already enjoy. Every week offers something different, keeping kids engaged, curious, and excited to learn.
Camps are led by experienced, supportive staff who encourage creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving. Activities are structured but playful, giving kids clear guidance while still leaving room for imagination and self-expression. Through collaboration and hands-on projects, kids build social skills, independence, and a sense of belonging.
These camps are ideal for kids who enjoy focused learning experiences and creative challenges. Enrichment Camps also work well on their own or alongside traditional day camps, giving families flexible options throughout the summer and school breaks.
To make it easier to find a camp near you, Enrichment Camps are listed below by location. Space is limited to keep groups small and experiences meaningful.
