Summer Camp - Department of Sports and Recreation

Kidcam Camps

The Department of Sports and Recreation is excited to host nine weeks of Kidcam Summer Camp from May 30th to July 28th for boys and girls ages 5-13! Based at The Perch, campers will also enjoy time at the Student Recreation and Activities Center for swimming and rock wall climbing. Camp will also offer extended hours with Before & After Care, as well as the ability to schedule week-to-week, as camp is needed.

Kidcam’s unique curriculum keeps our Rockstars (campers) fully engaged in daily activities & programs including recreation sports, creative arts, STEM, team building games, life skills, onsite field trips, movement, swimming, and water play.

We know this will be a huge benefit to offer KSU and the surrounding community. More information about Kidcam Camp can be found via their website .

Please note this is a Summer Day Camp Program facilitated by the KSU Sports & Rec Dept. It offers traditional day camp programs from sports, art, science, swimming, and STEM. It is not the specialty camps offered by the College of Professional Education.
