Thank you for your interest in Leroy Springs & Company Summer Camps! For more than 16 years, Leroy Springs & Co., located in Fort Mill, SC, has offered a variety of summer camps with a focus on connecting children to nature and providing an opportunity to put down the gadgets, connect with old and new friends, try a new activity or two and explore the great outdoors!

Leroy Springs & Co. Summer Camps offer opportunities for a plethora of interests. Campers can learn about nature and play with friends at Junior Adventure Seekers and try new activities like kayaking or fishing at Seekers. They can try corcling and mountain biking with Trekkers. Adventurers explore disc golf and become junior nature enthusiasts. Leaders in Training gain leadership skills while enjoying camp activities. Campers can learn how to ride a horse or grow existing equestrian skills at our Equestrian camps. Fish Tales and Mountain Bike camps offer specialized skills for young fishers and bikers. Campers can get creative and hands-on with STEAM activities and enjoy the best of summer at our FLYERS camps.

We welcome you to explore all the offerings that our summer camps provide. Join us for a fun-filled summer and prepare to dive into all the activities that playing outdoors provides. From hikes to horseback rides, stream stomping to fort building and creativity to character development, we hope you take advantage of the camp programs available to children ages 3 to 15! Join us for an adventure-filled summer!

Summer Camp Frequently Asked Questions

Who can participate in Leroy Springs & Co. camps?

Any child between the ages of 3 and 15 is eligible to participate in our summer camps. Camps are held outside, so campers should be prepared for the heat, humidity, and bugs of South Carolina summers. Campers attending FLYERS Camps can expect both indoor and outdoor activities.

Are there any physical requirements for camp?

Our Adventure Series, Specialty, and Equestrian Camps participate in activities such as hiking on uneven terrain, mountain biking (Trekkers, Adventurers, and Mountain Bike camps only), and mounting & dismounting horses (Equestrian camps only). Campers are provided instruction and guidance but should be able to accomplish such activities with minimal assistance.

Our FLYERS Summer Camps offer a full-day camp option for children who may not thrive in the outdoor setting that our Greenway camps offer. Please visit the FLYERS page of this camp guide for more information.

What types of activities do campers participate in at camp?

Each camp has a variety of activities that provide a well-rounded camp experience. All Adventure Series Camps can expect to participate in outdoor activities such as playing in wooded areas and fields, stream stomping, and age-appropriate hikes. Seekers, Trekkers and Adventurers camps also participate

in activities such as kayaking, archery, field games, crafts, fishing, and mountain biking (Trekkers and Adventurers age groups only). Equestrian campers learn not only how to ride, but also learn grooming and horsemanship.

At FLYERS day camps, campers spend their days both inside and outside at a local elementary school with activities centered around a weekly theme, including crafts, STEAM-focused experiments, group games, and field trips.

What are the behavior expectations

at camp?

Leroy Springs & Co. camps focus on providing a safe environment for all campers and staff. To allow campers to be their most unique selves at camp, we expect campers to contribute to the safe environment by meeting camp expectations, such as being kind and respectful to all, following directions, and committing to themselves and others by trying their best and bringing positivity in all activities.

Do I have to sign-up for all of the

weeks of camp?

You can choose to sign up for as many weeks as you’d like for your campers! Plus, you can mix and match, creating the summer camp experience that best fits your camper by trying out all that we have to offer.

Please note that the primary activities for Adventure Series Camps do not change week to week so if your camper attends multiple weeks of the same camp, they will have a similar experience week to week.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Please make sure to review the cancellation policy closely on page 7 before registering for any of our summer camps.

Can my child attend with a friend?

Camp is a great time to make new friends! At Adventure Series Camps, group requests are allowed. Please note, group requests cannot be made until the week before camp begins (more instructions will be provided at that time). Group requests must be mutual and campers must be in the same age group. Please note that we cannot accommodate large group requests (3+ campers) and group requests are not guaranteed.

What happens if camp fills up? What is the waitlist procedure?

All our camps will have waitlists available once a camp has filled. There is no cost to register for a waitlist, but you will still need to complete an application in EZChildTrack for the camps you would like your camper(s) to attend. This includes completing the health history form. Should a spot become available, we will email waitlist applicants in the order applications were received. A timely response is required, so please make sure to review these communications closely to avoid missing any deadlines. If you accept an offered spot, any remaining mandatory information and payment will be due at the time of acceptance.
