Summer break has a way of sneaking up fast. One minute it’s spring, the next minute school is out and families across Augusta are figuring out how to keep kids active, engaged, and having a good time all summer long. That is exactly where Augusta Recreation & Parks Summer Day Camps come in.
Our camps are built around a simple idea. Summer should be fun, structured, and meaningful. Each day is filled with activities that keep kids moving and engaged, from arts and crafts to games, group activities, and time outdoors. Campers also get to enjoy weekly field trips and pool days, which tend to become the highlight of the week.
The schedule is designed to work for families. The main camp day runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with options to extend the day if needed. Early Risers starts at 7:00 AM, and Afternoon Adventures runs until 6:00 PM, giving parents and guardians flexibility before and after the core program.
Another advantage is accessibility. With multiple locations across Augusta, families can choose a site that is convenient to their home or daily routine. Each location follows the same structure and standards, so participants receive a consistent experience no matter where they attend.
Beyond the activities, the focus of the program is on creating a safe and supportive environment. Staff work to ensure that every participant feels included, respected, and encouraged to participate. The program emphasizes positive social interaction, teamwork, and building confidence, all while keeping the experience centered on fun.
The 2026 Summer Day Camp season runs throughout June and July, with scheduled breaks to accommodate holidays.
For families looking for a reliable, engaging, and affordable summer option, Augusta Recreation & Parks offers a program that combines structure with fun and provides a strong foundation for a great summer experience.
