(SOLD OUT) Fort Week
A classic at Allerton is Fort Week, which this year is 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 24-28. Campers use natural materials to do what kids to best – make their own adult-free space! Once built, they have a blast using it to enjoy snack time, play games, or just have some laughs!
Register 5- to 7-year-olds as Allerton Acorns, while 8- to 12-year-olds are Allerton Adventurers.
$220/person for the week*. Add extended days for $15 (7-8 a.m.) or $35 (3-5:30 p.m.).
Register your Acorn (ages 5-7) here. (SOLD OUT)
Register your Adventurer (ages 8-12) here. (SOLD OUT)
*Registration fees include lunch, two snacks, a T-shirt and all necessary materials. Campers will need to bring their own water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray and a change of clothes/shoes.
