Camp Overview
Merritt Games… Are you Ready to Play?
Merritt Academy has designed a special 9-week experience (Jun 17th – Aug 14th) to keep campers safe, engaged and entertained all summer long! From brain-teasing trivia challenges to bouncing through an array of themed parks, your camper will enjoy taking age-appropriate adventures each week. We look forward to welcoming your camper to join the fun and games this summer. Once again, families will have the option to choose between the traditional themed summer camp or the popular classroom camp program.
Health and Safety
As always, Merritt Academy remains deeply committed to protecting the health and well-being of our entire camp community.
Program Options
Summer Camp
This is our traditional summer day camp filled with creative activities, outdoor play, daily swimming, special events and field trips! Our summer camp program is open to rising 1st through 8th grade students.
Classroom Camp
Classroom camp is an option combining academic enrichment with classic summer fun. Participating campers will work on grade-specific skills and enjoy project-based learning activities. Then, after morning studies, campers will resume an afternoon full of play, laughter and poolside fun. Classroom campers will join in on all field trips and may not have academics on field trip days.
Our summer camp programs operate from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Monday through Friday.
In service to families, before camp care is offered free beginning at 6:45 AM. After-care from 3:30 – 6:15 PM is available for $100 per week.
Bus Transportation is available for an extra fee. Please indicate if you are interested in transportation on the online registration form. After your online registration is complete, you can download and fill out the form below.
