Kids discover adventure at every turn this summer! 

2025 registration opens on January 13

At our 2025 eXploration Camp in Charlottesville, VA, young campers embark on a journey of learning and fun. Each week brings a new theme, sparking creativity through arts and crafts, engaging their curiosity with STEM projects, and promoting physical health with exciting PE games. Swimming sessions twice a week ensure campers stay cool and confident in the water. Field trips add an extra layer of adventure, and themed dress-up days make learning immersive and exciting.

  • Ages: 5-9. This is a school-age camp, so campers are grouped into age-appropriate huddles.

  • Location: Burley Middle School (Weeks 2-7) & Brooks Family YMCA (Weeks 1, 8, & 9)

  • Virginia licensed summer camp
