Summer in the City

Monday, June 7 - Friday, August 6. We are closed the week of July 5th.

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.

All students are required to wear masks while indoors. We recommend that students wear masks while outside, however outdoor masking is not required for students. Social distancing will be encouraged at all times.

All staff members are required to wear masks while indoors, but fully-vaccinated staff can remove masks while outside. Staff members who are not vaccinated must wear a mask outside when they are unable to maintain social distance.

Please note: guidelines are subject to change as health guidance is updated throughout the summer.

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. Pick up is in the same location, you will need to call the school (816) 931-8614 upon arrival and your child will be walked out.

Yes, lunch and snacks are included. 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 water bottle, a face mask, and nap items (if applicable). Note: Students will only be required to wear masks while indoors. 

All of our staff members attend an intense training before camp begins. All of our staff members and student volunteers will have their First Aid, CPR certification. All staff members must pass a background check.

Toddler campers will nap daily. Preschool students that are participating in the traditional camps will also nap daily. Please be sure to send nap items. Note: Only campers registered for traditional day camps will take naps; a nap is not provided in our specialty camps.

No, due to our COVID-19 guidelines students must remain in the same cohort all day. Please review the AM/PM camp cohort pairings chart in the Summer in the City brochure. Pairing camps allow us to cohort students in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and limit the potential of quarantines as much as possible. All students will remain in their cohort group throughout the week. Please note: The registration system will allow you to sign up for specialty and traditional, but you will be contacted about signing up for the appropriate camp pairings before camp begins. 

Some of our camps will take field trips throughout the summer! All field trip fees are included in the camp fee. (Community Connections, Piece of Cake, City Market Chefs, Watermania, Girl Scouts)
