What's Different this Summer?

This summer, you will notice all of our camps are broken down into four categories: academic, athletic, specialty, and day. Academic, athletic, and specialty camps are similar to the traditional UMS-Wright camps you know and love. These camps run Monday through Thursday, either taking place in the morning or the afternoon. Day Camps are a full day experience, with drop-off starting as early as 7:30 and camp activities ending no later than 3:30. Each day camp has its own lead counselor, weekly themes to magnify the fun, and much more. Day Camps run Monday through Friday, providing a full week of fun for your camper. We offer four day camps: Beginners (K3), Climbers (K4-K5), Junior (1-2), and Senior (36). Morning Camps: 8:30-11:30 Need childcare after 3:30? Afternoon Camps: 12:30-3:30 No problem! We offer Extended Care: 3:30-5:30 Extended Care from 3:305:30 each week. Day Camps: 7:30-3:30

Mix + Match Experience

- Sarah Blankenship, Director of Summer Programs

We are thrilled to be able to provide campers with a customized mix and match experience! Campers can combine a morning camp with an afternoon camp to customize his or her experience! Go swimming in the morning and finish your day off learning how to stress less. Mix and match your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorites to create a customized full-day experience.
