Our camp is designed not only as a playground of endless fun with thrilling games, creative crafts, and weekly showcases but also as a nurturing ground for the social-emotional development and academic success of young people.

CAMP ACTIVITIES

Campers explore various means of artistic expression and explore art tools as they formulate projects and delve into weekly themes through exploration in Symbolic Painting, Sculpting, Drawing, Photography, and Fashion Design.

On the Go

Recreational activities are designed to help campers develop gross and fine motor skills while enjoying team and individual games. Team building, skill development and game play are learned with guided instruction and fun tournaments.

STEM-splorations

Campers dive into the digital world at camp boosting their STEM skills with culinary arts, podcasting,  engineering and digital art, all while navigating tech safely and creatively.

OnStage

Campers explore visual and performing arts—think skits, dances, and musical performances. Each week, they craft and showcase their own masterpieces, complete with costumes, masks, and props, all inspired by exciting themes.

QUESTIONS ABOUT CAMP:

At MLK Camp, breakfast and lunch are provided daily through our partnership with Preferred Meals, offering options similar to school lunches. A weekly menu will be posted in the lobby for families to view.

Families are welcome to send their child with a meal from home, as long as it is nut-free (please avoid items like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches).

Please note: We are unable to refrigerate or heat up meals, and for the safety of all campers, courier or food delivery services are not permitted at the camp site.

Please make sure your camper comes prepared for a full day of fun! Each day, they should bring:

  • A refillable water bottle

  • Spray-on sunscreen (staff cannot apply lotion-style sunscreen)

  • A backpack to keep all belongings together

  • Their camp t-shirt in the bag for any walking trips off-site

  • A change of clothes, towel, and a plastic bag for any water play or accidents

  • Older campers are encouraged to bring personal hygiene items (like deodorant, wipes, etc.)

Please label all items and avoid sending valuables or electronics.

Campers should come dressed for active, outdoor fun! Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • Comfortable play clothes that can get messy

  • Sneakers are required — no Crocs, slides, sandals, or flip-flops

  • Water shoes are encouraged on outdoor water play days

  • A hat is recommended for sun protection during outdoor activities

  • Campers must wear their camp t-shirt on field trip days (we’ll let families know in advance)

Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and always ready for movement and adventure!

Yes! We love to have fun with weekly themed dress-up days, and a schedule of themes will be shared with families in advance. We encourage all campers (and staff!) to participate as they feel comfortable — it’s a great way to build camp spirit!

No need to stress if you don’t have themed gear at home — we’ll have arts & crafts sessions where campers can make their own fun accessories to match the theme. Participation is always encouraged, never required!

We maintain small group sizes to ensure quality interactions and supervision. Each group typically has 12–15 campers with 1 senior and 1 junior counselor, depending on age and activities. We follow or exceed all licensing guidelines to keep campers safe and supported.

We strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for all children. However, we are not a specialized program and may not be equipped to meet the needs of students requiring 1:1 support or extensive behavioral or medical accommodations. If you have specific questions about your child’s needs, we’d love to talk with you to see if our camp is the right fit.

Each day includes a mix of structured activities, free play, enrichment workshops, and group games. We also incorporate weekly themes, field trips, and special events to keep things exciting! A daily schedule will be posted at the site so families can stay in the loop.

No, all campers are expected to participate in field trips with their group. Staff and programming are not available on-site during trip hours. If a child is unable or unwilling to attend a trip, they will not be able to attend camp that day. Thank you for your understanding.

Campers must be at least 5 years old AND have completed kindergarten to attend. The oldest campers we accept are 12 years old — however, if your child turns 13 during the summer, they are still welcome to join us for the full camp season.

We’ll have weekly outings planned throughout the summer, some will be larger trips, while others may be fun local adventures. A full trip schedule will be shared with families so you know what’s coming up.

All trips are free of charge for campers. If there’s an opportunity for your child to bring spending money (like for snacks or souvenirs), we’ll let you know in advance but breakfast and lunch will always be provided on trip days.
