REGISTRATION OPENS AT 9 A.M. ON WEDNESDAY MARCH 13.

Allerton Day Camps get your child outside to discover art and nature through hands-on exploration. All campers will learn about our natural world while participating in both planned and free-play activities. From the first week of June to the first few days of August, campers will build friendships and forts, go on hikes to far-off places in their imaginations, play games and win a medal, create art with nature as their inspiration, and much more. Campers will no doubt have tons of fun while also learning this summer. Adventure is always waiting at Allerton!
Campers are split into two age groups: Allerton Acorns (5-7 year olds) and Allerton Adventurers (8-12 year olds).
(Adventurers also have the opportunity to go to the Monticello Family Aquatic Center twice a week. Learn more here.)
As in years past, each week of camp will feature a different theme and requires registration for each week. View each week’s description here. Individual weeks of camp can fill quickly.
Camps are held Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. from June 3 through Aug. 2.
(No camp the week of July 1-5.)
Morning (7-8 a.m.) and afternoon (3-5:30 p.m.) extended-day options are available for an additional fee.
Registration fee: $220/week
Add extended days for $15/AM and $35/PM
Lunch, two snacks, a t-shirt and all necessary materials are included. Campers will need to bring their own water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray, and a change of clothes/shoes.
A limited number of partial scholarships will be available this year, thanks to the generosity of donors. Scholarships will be awarded as a percentage of camp fees, based on need, as decided by Allerton. Complete the scholarship application here. The application will open on March 1 and close on April 1. Early applicants will be given priority.
