Summer Camps in Joplin, Missouri

Joplin's summer camp scene offers an impressive mix of traditional and creative programs, with arts and sports leading the way. The city punches above its weight with over 50 camp providers offering everything from glass-making at Connect2Culture to outdoor adventures at Camp Mintahama. Local favorites include the YMCA's affordable swim programs (most under $200) and The Flip Shop's popular gymnastics camps that have been teaching kids to tumble since 1988.

What really stands out is the strong arts focus - nearly a quarter of all camps are arts-based, with unique offerings like glass-blowing, ceramics, and theater programs that you might not expect in a mid-sized Midwest city. Whether your child wants to perfect their backstroke, learn to throw pottery, or explore nature, Joplin's camp scene has something to spark their interest.
