Summer Camp Updates & Camp-In-A-Box

We will announce the status of in-person July camp sessions by June 5.

Our camp team has worked hard to pivot and develop engaging virtual programming to meet family needs and we are excited to launch REMOTE CAMP PROGRAMMING options.

What is Camp-in-a-Box?
Camp-in-a-Box includes 5 days (10 hands on activities + 5 hour-long virtual experiences) of exciting, traditional summer camp fun. All materials are provided in the box to complete each activity. Students should be occupied up to 3 hours per day. Each Camp-in-a-Box is unique to the week!

We have also partnered with ArtHaus Richmond to offer Art-in-a-Box, complete with ONE-ON-ONE virtual art instruction!

Stay tuned for our Summer Camp Social Media Takeover the week of June 1 to learn more about the exciting themes and activities we have planned with Camp-In-A Box! As well, join us on June 8 at 8 p.m. for a Facebook Live presentation and Q&A on our remote camp program.
