Summer in the City

Monday, June 3 - Friday, August 2, 2024. We are closed the week of July 4th.

Camp hours are 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 p.m. -4:00 p.m. We do offer extended hours for no additional fee. Both specialty camps and traditional campers can come as early as 7:45 a.m. and stay as late as 6:00 p.m.

Drop off is directly in front of the main entrance (Main Street). Parents will need to walk their student to the sign in table where a staff member or volunteer will get the student checked in. Parents are welcome to walk their camper into the school. Pick up is in the same location.

Yes, lunch is provided for full-day campers and snacks are included for all campers. Students are welcome to bring their own lunch and snacks.

Students should wear play clothes and comfortable shoes (tennis shoes preferred). For specific specialty camps, campers should note the required items listed in the camp description. Students will also need a labeled water bottle and nap items (if applicable).

All of our staff members attend an intense training before camp begins. All of our staff members are First Aid and CPR certified. All staff members must pass a background check. Our student volunteers are all trained and most are First Aid and CPR certified.

Only Toddler through Pre-K campers who are registered for afternoon traditional day camp will take naps; a nap is not provided in our specialty camps. Please be sure to send nap items.

Yes! Campers can attend Traditional Camp in the morning, eat lunch, and then head to a specialty camp in the afternoon (or vice versa.) If your student is signed up for a morning and afternoon camp, our staff will ensure they get to the right afternoon camp location after eating lunch and recess.

There are plenty of fun specialty camps that are only offered in the afternoon, so be sure to check out the camp catalog and sign up! 

Some of our camps will take field trips throughout the summer! All field trip fees are included in the camp fee. (Lego Camp, 4H Overnight Camp at Rock Springs Ranch, Making in the Space, UMKC Roos Basketball Camp, KC Food Tour, etc.)

Full refunds are given when a written request is received two weeks or more before the start of the class. A 75% refund is given upon written request two weeks prior to the class start date.

If a class is canceled, you may select another class or request a full refund. If your child must quarantine, a refund will be offered.
