The time is now to secure your kids’ spots in summer camps.
Seasoned Morgantown parents know that spaces in local summer camps fill up fast and it’s best to get a plan in place early. If you’re new to the summer camp scene, here are some of the options.
BOPARC
For an all-day camp lasting the whole summer, BOPARC Summer Camps might be your best bet. The recreation department offers day camp programs for kids in first through eighth grades from June 6 until August 12. It also offers art- and sports-focused camps as well as various lessons like swimming and steel drum. Registration is open and spaces are filling up fast.
Gritstone Climbing + Fitness
Summer camps at Gritstone are open to ages 5–17 and encourage kids to “climb high, get creative, and learn about the wildlife of West Virginia.” If this sounds like something your child will love, register soon. Sign up before April 14 and get a 20% discount.
Kidmatics
If healthy lifestyle choices are important to you and your family, consider the summer camps offered by Kidmatics. There is a full-day camp for children ages 5–12 and another for kids 13 and older. Camps run June 7–July 30.
Mylan Park
Mylan Park offers a whole range of active camps for kids each summer. These opportunities are usually one-week sessions offered in the mornings or afternoons. Time slots for each camp—athlete recovery, baseball/softball, soccer skills, multi-sports, and football—differ by session. For the little swimmers in your family, consider the Summer Swimtastic Day Camps offered by the Mylan Park Aquatic Center daily from June 7 through August 13. Registration is open.
The WOW! Factory
Morgantown’s favorite maker space offers day camps during the summer months for children ages 6–12. Details of this year’s WOW! Factory camps haven’t been released yet, but a summer camp T-shirt contest open to potential campers is happening right now, with online voting set to begin April 1. A winning design could earn your kid a free summer camp session.
