Make it stand out
Acton Summer Camp
Summer Camp for curious, creative kids.
Week-long, project-based camps where kids build, create, explore, and collaborate — all in a joyful, hands-on environment designed for ages 5–13.
A camp that feels more like a makerspace than a classroom.
Over four weeks (June 1–24, 2026), campers ages 5–13 dive into creative projects, hands-on challenges, outdoor play, and collaborative adventures. Choose one week or join us for multiple sessions.
Campers design, tinker, craft, and experiment with real tools and materials. Curiosity drives the process — creativity powers the results.
Each week ends with a small exhibition where campers proudly share their creations with families and fellow campers.
Through play, teamwork, and Socratic questions, campers build resilience, kindness, confidence, and leadership.
Summer 2026 sessions & themes.
