Summer Camp

Welcome to Summer Camp!

Thank you so much for your interest in the Children's House Summer Camp! Camp will take place at the historic schoolhouse in Camden for toddlers and preschool aged children. Our kindergarten and elementary aged friends will enjoy camp offsite at Merryspring Nature Center. We look forward to friendship, fun, field trips, art galore, and a lot of laughs.

Spaces at camp are offered to our currently-enrolled families and then past camp families/ past Children’s House children. Preference is given to families who are signing up for the ENTIRE summer session or multiple weeks. A three-week consecutive registration is required.

Thank you! We look forward to being in touch soon.
