Our Specialty Camps are full-day programs that include a half-day of Specialty Camp and a half-day of Traditional Camp. Specialty Campers will receive a daily modified swim lesson.

See a list of some of our Specialty Camps below:

“Our daughter LOVED doing circus arts (again) and robotics camp. She adored the LEGO Mindstorm Robotics and the contests. She loved swimming with the PODS instructors for the 3rd year. We can’t wait to see the Circus Ringmaster curriculum added this next year (crossing fingers)! The extended hours are wonderful, and the Specialty Camps are great! As parents of a child that doesn’t have a public school schedule, we love that the camp runs from early June to end of August.”
