Summer camp registration opens on March 6

Feb. 26, 2026

The summer website is live. Visit the site before registration day to build your schedule before registration opens on Friday, March 6, at 10 a.m. Summer Sessions even added a printable camp planning worksheet this year to help design the perfect summer schedule for your family. As always, you can browse camps by week to see what is happening when you need it, or search by grade to explore options for specific age groups.

Summer Sessions is offering more camps than ever before: 85 unique camps and 133 total sessions for students in preschool through grade 12. Many tried and true favorites like Bug Camp, Art in the Garden, Junior Firefighters and Rock Climbing Camp, are offered as well as new options, such as Jr. Auto Mechanics, Song and Dance Camp, Microbiology Camp and Alaska Bird Camp.

If new to the programs, create a CampDoc account before registration opens to save time at checkout (instructions are available on the Summer Sessions website). And remember, if a camp is full, join the waitlist. It’s free, and the office typically sees significant movement between registration day and summer.

While we adore our young campers, adults deserve some fun too! Registration for MAYmester and summer non-credit courses also opens March 6 at 10 a.m. These “camps for adults” are perfect for anyone ready to try something new. From mushrooms to migration, pickleball to painting, and printmaking to golf, Summer Sessions has something for everyone.
