Campers immerse themselves in various recreational activities and much more at Blue Camp which is built on the core values of healthy play, socialization, and lifelong learning.
About Blue Camp
Blue Camp grew from the idea that all children need opportunities to play and engage in regular physical activity to support their mental health and well-being. This comprehensive recreational day camp for ages 7-12 combines developmental sports, outdoor learning, science, the arts, free play, and group games to create a fun, well-rounded, diverse camp experience. Two-week, one-week, and drop-in sessions are available, making summer planning easy.
Back in Summer 2022! Campers enrolled in two-week Blue Camp sessions will participate in daily swimming lessons* and aquatic activities. (Participants in one-week and drop-in sessions will not have swimming built into their camp day but may wish to enroll in individual swimming lessons.)**
- Campers enrolled in Blue Camp Bears or Grizzlies may also opt-in for Pre-Team Swimming as an add-on for Intermediate-Advanced swimmers who may be interested in a competitive swimming experience. You may select “Pre-Team Swimming” as an add-on at check-out.
*Subject to change due to public health guidance.
**Based on space and availability – Bears & Grizzlies registrants are encouraged to select swimming as their first or second elective.
Blue Camp is split into three age groupings to ensure safety and age appropriateness for all activities:
- Cubs (ages 7-8): Cubs explore a wide array of different recreational camp activities with a group of 15–20 other campers, led by trained and experienced Group Leaders. Each day, Cubs rotate through a diverse mix of activities which may include outdoor exploration, sports such as basketball and soccer, arts and crafts, and fun camp games. Cubs participating in two-week camp sessions participate in daily swimming lessons and aquatic activities. Available in two-week and one-week sessions.
- Bears and Grizzlies (Bears ages 9-10; Grizzlies ages 11-12): Bears and Grizzlies have opportunities to sample an even wider array of elective activities appropriate to their age group. Choose from either two-week sessions (where campers can customize their own camp experience by selecting specific activities they’d like to participate in) or one-week sessions, where campers are assigned to a group that rotates together through our most popular Blue Camp activities. Learn more about the elective activity options available for Bears and Grizzlies.
