This hands-on interactive camp is $180 for members and $220 for non-members and offered in two sessions: June 20-24 and July 11-15.  

Participants must complete both the registration form and waiver before they can register. Historic Columbia summer camps are intended for children 8-12 years old.

“These guys are fabulous at everything they do and the summer camp for kids further emphasized that. My daughter does summer day week camps all summer and has for years and this is the best we've ever seen. Super creative ideas and so much fun in a beautiful setting. Plus the counselors are fantastic... Laid back but organized. Highly, highly recommend. Can't wait for next year!” —Steph Zschunke Bilovsky

Campers registered after June 1st are not guaranteed the shirt size of their choice.
