Summer Day Camp 2026
Registration Closed - See you next year!
JUNE 15 - AUGUST 14th!
EIGHT FULL WEEKS - 7AM to 5:30PM
Summer should be something to look forward to.
Summer is supposed to be the good part.
When school ends in June, the structure disappears for two months.
The Lost Hours don't go away in summer. They multiply.
The Link's Summer Camp is what happens when those hours get reclaimed.
Eight weeks of daily programming: safety, meals, consistent mentors.
The kind of summers that kids actually remember.
For students entering grades 6–12.

Everything that makes a summer worth having.
Tuition covers daily lunch and snacks, structured daily programming, sports and outdoor activities, life skills sessions, our Garden to Table program, supervised free time, background-checked adult mentors every single day, and field trips when we can pull them off.
What it really covers is this: eight weeks of somewhere safe to be, someone who knows your name, and something to look forward to when you wake up in the morning.
How much is it?
We want every student here.
Cost is not a reason to stay home.
Tuition is $105 or $175 per week for Part Time vs Full Time camp. — we offer a discount for families who pay the full season upfront.
If that number doesn't work for your family, it's not the end of the conversation. We offer need-based financial assistance, and we mean it when we say no student gets turned away for cost. The scholarship application is three questions, it's confidential, and we respond within 48 hours.
The most expensive thing we can imagine is a kid spending their summer with nothing to do and nowhere to belong.
Ready to register? Good.
This takes about 5-10 minutes.

“I like it here because we play basketball and make s'mores.”
