About The Major Kids Summer Camp

Get to know our story, mission, and the passionate team behind the most enriching summer camp experience for children ages 5-14.

Our Story

The Major Kids Summer Camp was founded in 2015 by a group of passionate educators and child development specialists who saw the need for a more enriching summer experience for children.

What began as a small program with just 25 children has now grown into a premier summer camp serving over 500 happy campers annually. Our journey has been guided by our unwavering commitment to creating an environment where children can learn, create, and play in meaningful ways.

Throughout our growth, we've remained dedicated to our founding principle: that summer should be a time of joy, discovery, and development. By combining educational enrichment with creative expression and physical activity, we've created a unique program that parents trust and children love.

To create a transformative summer experience that nurtures the whole child – mind, body, and spirit – through balanced programming that makes learning an adventure.

We strive to foster curiosity, creativity, confidence, and connection in every child who attends our camp, providing them with skills and memories that will last a lifetime.

Our approach combines structured educational activities with creative exploration and physical play, all within a safe, supportive environment where children can discover their unique talents and potential.
