Day camps are available in various counties in Central Pennsylvania during the summer months, providing fun activities and encouraging social engagement in a relaxed environment.
Military Family Programs
We honor military families by providing free weekend camps for children ages 5-17 of currently serving and veteran service members (with or without disabilities). Additionally, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Army National Guard, we offer a variety of week-long summer camps for ages 5-17. These fun adventurous retreats provide a way for children to connect with their peers, share stories, and create lifelong friendships.
