CAMP Theme Information
Not all Camps Themes are available at every location. Make sure to check out the Camp Locations page to see which camps are being held in your area.
The activities in most Camp Themes do not change from year-to-year. We review and update every camp, but unless it has a version number or an altered name, it is likely 75% the same. So if your child took the same Camp Theme last summer, then the activities in that camp will likely be the same this summer as well. So while we try to offer several different themes in each age group each summer, some students do repeat camp themes and still have a great time!

- A 75% refund will be offered between April 2nd and May 31st
