Summer Camp 2025
Mountain Kids, Incorporated, has so many exciting summer camp opportunities for 2025! We are thrilled to offer summer day camps for all school aged children, from Pre-K through 12th grade. With six weeks of camp offerings, there is something for everyone! Whether your camper enjoys the great out doors, or is more of an artist, or budding architect, there's a camp for that!
This summer, we are offering camps for specific age groups - Ages 4-12 and Ages 8-16:
-
If your camper falls outside of the age group listed, but you feel they would enjoy participating, please give us a call.
-
Camps for ages 4-12 will accept campers ages 13-14 with approval
-
Camps for ages 8-16 will accept campers ages 7 and 17 with approval
-
Unfortunately, we are unable to permit children ages 3 and under, or ages 18 and over, to our camp programming.
We are sticking with a four day camp week to better accommodate working parents' schedules:
-
Camp will meet Monday through Thursday
-
Drop off begins at 7:45AM
-
Camp begins at 8:00AM
-
Pick-up is at 4:00PM
-
The only exception is Faith Moves Mountains, which meets Monday noon-9PM, Tuesday & Wednesday 9AM-9PM, and Thursday 9AM-noon.
-
Family camp-outs will be offered again this year!
-
Campers may spend Thursday night at the farm as long as they have a parent our guardian present at all times
-
MKI staff will be on site, but campers will be the responsibility of their parent or guardian beginning at 4PM.
-
Those wishing to stay the night may access the swimming hole, innertubes, and other farm activities under the supervision of their parent or guardian.
-
No lifeguard will be on site during this time.
-
Families are asked to leave the farm by 10AM Friday.
-
Camp-outs are weather dependent.
Scholarship Information:
We will not turn away any child who wishes to participate in summer camp due to financial difficulties:
-
Families may apply for scholarships for a maximum of two camps per camper each summer.
-
If a camp is full at the time of the request, your camper will be placed on a waiting list, and the scholarship will only be awarded if a space becomes available.
-
Families requesting scholarships must complete a registration form and scholarship form for each child in need. If these documents are not received, your application will be invalid.
-
Completed applications are reviewed by a panel.
-
This panel designates the amount of funds to be awarded.
-
It may take up to two weeks for a decision to be made.
-
-
Scholarship funds vary each year, and completing the application does not guarantee an award.
-
We try to fund all requests meeting the criteria for financial need, but this may mean a smaller amount of funds per family due to an increased amount of requests.
-
Minimal scholarships are given at 100%.
-
-
All scholarship information is kept confidential.
-
Failure to attend camp after a scholarship has been awarded, without proper notice, may make your family ineligible for future scholarship funds.
-
Please notify our staff as soon as possible if you are unable to attend the camp requested.
-
We may be able to shift funds to another camp week, or release the funds to another family in need.
-
-
No monetary value is given to the scholarship awardee. The funds are given directly to Mountain Kids, in lieu of tuition.
-
Campers receiving a scholarship will still be expected to provide their own lunch each day.
