SUMMER CAMP 2023 FULL!

Camp Blue Ridge is completely full for both groups (BEARS and CUBS) for summer camp! We are not accepting any additional students into our wait list.

WELCOME TO
CAMP BLUE RIDGE

Camp Blue Ridge is Haymarket Children’s Academy’s all inclusive, award winning, school-age 4-Season camp program! Open from 6:30am – 6:30pm, campers are divided into two groups; Cubs (rising kindergarten – rising 1st grade) and Bears (rising 2nd grade – rising 6th grade), with up to 150 campers a day in our 10,000 sq ft building. During the summer, each group will go on multiple field trips each week, along with doing on campus STEM activities, art projects, and cooking enrichment classes. Camp Blue Ridge is in our Outpost building, which has its own 2-acre playground, and full size gym for campers to stay active all summer long and throughout the year during holidays.

Weekly summer tuition includes the cost of all field trips, breakfast, lunch, and snacks. All your camper needs every day is a water bottle, and to be ready to make new friends and great memories! We require a 4-week minimum, with 3 days a week for summer enrollment, but our flexible program allows you to pick and choose which weeks / days you would like your child to attend throughout the entire summer to best fit your families schedule and needs.

If you have specific questions, would like more information, or want to schedule a tour of everything Camp Blue Ridge has to offer, please call Haymarket Children’s Academy, or email Ellen McPeek at emcpeek@haymarketca.com .
