Rochester, Minnesota offers an incredibly diverse summer camp landscape that goes well beyond what you might expect from a mid-sized Midwest city. While the world-famous Mayo Clinic might be the city's claim to fame, Rochester's camp scene stands out for its unique blend of medical-inspired programs like HealthForce Minnesota's Scrubs Camp alongside traditional outdoor adventures. Kids can explore everything from hands-on farming at Red Barn Learning Farm to specialized gymnastics programs at ROGA (Rochester Gymnastics Academy).
What's particularly impressive is the strong STEM focus woven throughout many programs - a natural extension of the city's medical heritage. With most camps priced under $200 per session and over 50 different providers to choose from, parents can find options for every interest and budget.
