Summer Camp

Welcome to Summer Camp!

Thank you so much for your interest in the Children’s House Summer Camp at our historic schoolhouse and community playground in Camden, with off-site programming for our Elementary aged campers. We look forward to friendship, fun, field trips, art galore, water play, and a lot of laughs. We love camp, and we are so excited for the summer. Tuition assistance is available.

Camp is full with a Waiting List. Click here to join the WAITING LIST 2025

If you join our Waiting List, please know that we will contact you if space opens up!

Thank you again for your interest in summer fun at Children’s House.

Cheers, Rachel and the Camp Staff
