Sign up now for a City of Alexandria summer art camp!
Summer may still be a few months away, but the City of Alexandria is already gearing up for another unforgettable season of learning, adventure and big smiles! The City of Alexandria’s Department of Recreation, Parks & Cultural Activities is putting the finishing touches on this year’s summer camp lineup, and trust us, you won’t want to miss what’s in store.
What to Expect This Summer
From high-energy sports and outdoor exploration to hands-on creative arts, STEM challenges, performing arts, classic camps, and exciting weekly themes, there will be something for every young adventurer ages 2–17. Whether your child wants to dive into nature, build something amazing, dance on stage, or try something completely new, we’ve designed camps that help each camper make the most of every summer moment.
Flexible Options for Busy Families
At select locations, camps will once again offer Before Care (7–9 a.m.) and After Care (4–6 p.m.), giving parents extra flexibility and campers extra fun with activities like crafts, group games, movies, and more.
Mark Your Calendars
The City's full Summer Camps Guide, packed with detailed descriptions and helpful planning tools, will drop in just a few short weeks. And registration? It’s right around the corner, too! Stay tuned for official dates, announcements, and insider tips to help you plan the best summer ever.
Be on the lookout for sneak peeks, featured camp spotlights, and the return of the City's popular Summer Fun Finder, your easy way to build a summer your child will love, week by week.
Summer goes fast… but the memories last forever. Get ready, Alexandria. Your best summer yet is almost here!
