Summer Camps in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Philadelphia's summer camp scene perfectly reflects the city's rich blend of history, culture, and innovation. From circus arts at the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts to hands-on wildlife experiences at Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, Philly's camps go way beyond traditional programs. The city stands out for its unique mix of arts-focused camps (making up nearly 20% of offerings) and cutting-edge STEM programs at places like Drexel University. Parents can find everything from specialized circus training and wildlife education to academic enrichment, with most camps ranging between $200-400 per week.

What's particularly special about Philly's camp landscape is how it leverages the city's incredible institutions - kids can study painting at America's oldest art school (Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts) or explore environmental science in sprawling nature preserves, all while staying within reach of center city.
