An exciting summer camp for children
6 YEARS OLD- 12 years old!


“"Camp is a time when children are out of the structured school setting. This is an excellent time to let them experience the outdoors, enhance their physical abilities, and build new relationships and friendships. One of the things I get the most enjoyment out of is, giving children and their parents two months where they can fulfill their every need for a complete and exciting summer. Camp Summit is a place where the number of campers is small enough for children to get their individual needs met, yet have enough children so that each child can connect with others and build fulfilling friendships. We provide swimming, tennis, outdoor sports, interactive games, nature and field trip experiences. A theatrical staff that joins us for eight weeks also actively involves the campers in preparing and performing a play. The children get a chance to act while acquiring social skills, building self confidence, speaking with and in front of people, while getting that wonderful feeling of being part of something that is spectacular. I look forward to my “summertime” time with children, and what a wonderful feeling it is to see and make a difference in any family’s summer experience!”

Tina Harris, Director
Camp Summit

 

Camp Summit is a fun way for your child to spend the summer weeks! We provide time with friends to learn and grow socially together as well as an environment that enables and encourages them to make new friends and try new experiences.


Swimming!

Camp Summit has the use of a private pool three days a week. In addition, there is outdoor water play under the sprinklers.

 

Outdoors!

Camp Summit is located near the beautiful Wissahickon and Valley Green. Much of our summer learning happens in the great outdoors.

 

Field Trips!

Field trips to Philadelphia area attractions are a wonderful part of Camp Summit’s program. We also receive special visitors who bring field trips to us.

 


Celebrating the Arts!

Our camp provides innovative creative and performing arts in the summer program. We’ll be singing, dancing, playing and learning about acting and playbuilding. It all culminates with the campers ending the summer with a stage performance.

Celebrating Activity!

Tennis anyone? Camp Summit adds tennis to the long list of organized outdoor activities we offer. We'll head to the courts for instruction and play. We love to keep moving! (With plenty of breaks for water!)

Celebrating Each Other!

Armed with their own cameras, campers will turn their summer into an experience to remember. All of our campers will make a personal Camp Summit journal that will include photos of projects, field trips, and special thoughts of their personal experiences here at Camp Summit.

We believe that a high quality summer camp program should provide for the recreational, social and emotional needs of children. We provide an environment that is structured enough to be safe and interesting, but allows children to have a great deal of independence and choice.
