I'm staring at my June/July/August tabs in my planner and wondering how it is that another summer is almost upon us.
I have each of my girls color-coded in my calendar, and the activities are piling up. We don't sit still very frequently... And summer is certainly no exception to that rule!
It is hardest to fill the summer for the littlest members of our community, so this list includes camps for kiddos ages 0-4, although most of these are for ages 3 and up. Look for a camp round up for the older kids in the upcoming weeks!
While there are awesome camp options all over DFW depending on your wants and needs, there is also a whole lot of awesome right here in the Arlington area! From outdoor adventures at Camp Anothen to Day Camps with the City of Arlington and Spanish immersion camps at Spanish Schoolhouse, there is truly something for everyone! Read on to find out about all the awesomeness in Arlington-area for Summer 2018 (and don't forget to message me or email me at everythingarlingtontx@gmail.com if I missed something!).
For the little ones (ages 0-4)
Days Camps at Arlington Rec Centers
My middle daughter has attended day camp at the rec centers for the past two years and really, really enjoys it! Each rec center has different offerings- Cliff Nelson, for example, offers a Lil Chefs camp in June and a Diggin' Dinos camp in July. Each camp meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday for two hours and costs $40. For kids ages 3-5. Be sure to check out what Dottie Lynn and Elzie Odom offer, as well. There is sure to be something for everyone! www.naturallyfun.org
River Legacy Nature Camp
Camps start mid-June for ages 3, 4 and 5 (entering kindergarten). Campers will spend time both indoors and outdoors learning about nature and living things. Each week has a different theme. Camps run weekly from 9a- 12p and cost $185. www.riverlegacy.org
Spirals EdVenture Camp
My oldest attended camp here when she was 3 and really loved it! Camps start in early June and have a different theme each week. Camp is from 8:45a- 11:45a. Campers, ages 3-5, engage in a variety of activities, including crafts and horseback riding! Camp is $96 for the week and $20 to register. This camp is only offered at their Mansfield location. www.spiralsgym.com
Spanish Immersion Camp at Spanish Schoolhouse
My oldest attended preschool here for two years and we loved our time there! I simply wish they would move to the south side of town... Young ones can spend their days learning about the Spanish language and culture from native speakers. Sports, games, art and many, many more activities will keep littles busy and having fun all summer long! Camps run for two weeks at a time. Kiddos can enroll in camps for two, three, four or five days per week. Camp is for kiddos ages 3-8, but you can call and see if there is space for an older 2-year-old. Camp starts at $190 per session. www.spanishschoolhouse.com
Little Learners Half-Day Camp at the Arlington YMCAs
Kiddos ages 3-5 can enroll in half-day camps for $19 if you are a member of the Y! Camps start in June and run throughout the summer. Each camp has a different theme. Check the Website for locations, as time and theme vary by location (south, central, north). Camps are generally 8:30-11:30 or 1p-4p. www.amaymca.org
Gymnastics Camp at ASI
Kiddos ages 3 and up can spend a morning or afternoon (or both) playing games and brushing up on gymnastics skills at ASI camp! Sessions are $25 from 8a to 1p or 1p to 6p. Add on a same-day session for just $5! My older two did camp here last summer and will be back this summer. You can't beat the price- or the air conditioning! www.asigymnastics.com
Outdoor Adventures at Camp Thurman
Kids who are 4 can already start at Camp Thurman, a favorite day camp in the area. Sunshine Camp is for 4-year-olds and runs from 9a to 1p all summer long. Camp starts at $220 per week. Activities include arts and crafts, swimming and more. My girls have started camp here the summer they are 4 and beg to go back each year. It is truly a wonderful experience for them. Located right in Pantego, this camp is a must for all kiddos ages 4 and up! www.campthurman.org
Dance Camp at A. Person's Dance Legacy
Kiddos of all ages can learn to spin, twirl, tap and more with Miss Ashleigh at her summer dance camps! Let your kiddos dance their wiggles out at these fun camps in Central Arlington. One day camps available. Classes available for kiddos as young as age 1! Legacy Dance Camp
Enjoy the outdoors at Camp Anothen
Camp Anothen in Mansfield is currently offering two week-long camps in June for campers ages 4 and 5. For $150, campers can be dropped off between 8 and 9a and picked up by noon. During this time, campers will play, explore and try new things in an outdoor environment. www.campanothen.org
Learning and growing at The Little Gym Summer Camps
Starting at $22 per day, kiddos can spend their summer afternoons out of the crazy Texas heat having fun at The Little Gym. Kids can practice their gymnastics skills, play games and so much more! Kids ages 3-8 are welcome all summer long from 1-4p Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. www.thelittlegym.com\
Need longer hours or more options? Be sure and check out local preschools. Both Children's University and Trinity United Methodist Church have camp options all summer long for the little ones.
Please please please let me know if I missed your summer camp- I would LOVE to add it to this list!
