Dear KidsOutAndAbout readers:
Here at KidsOutAndAbout.com, we love promoting summer camps as a way for kids to learn, expand their friendship circles, and have fun without the pressure of grades or consequences. Local summer camps have pulled out all the stops to ensure your kids have a great time.
After getting inspired by the camp descriptions below with programs for preschoolers through teens, head over to
our Week by Week Guide to Summer Camps and what's been posted so far for 2026. Bookmark that main portal page to get where you need to go quickly to search by date or subject. New camps are being added constantly, so check back frequently. I hope you enjoy our special-edition camp newsletter,
and that you forward it to your friends who may also be shopping for summer camps. We'll be back with your regularly-scheduled weekly newsletter on Thursday!

AoPS Academy summer program curriculum focuses on developing specific skills, exploring key topics and theories, and applying them to meaningful problem-solving in math, language arts, and science. These camps help students keep their skills sharp over the summer while building a strong foundation for the upcoming academic year. Our two-week academic camps are not traditional summer school classes that cover a full year’s curriculum. Instead, they are engaging enrichment programs designed to take a deep dive into select topics, introduce advanced concepts, and equip students with problem-solving strategies that will benefit them throughout their education.
