SUMMER CAMP

KCC Summer Camp 2025
KCC Summer Camp is for children entering first grade in the Fall 2025 up through incoming 6th graders. We offer a full summer of camp, starting Monday, June 16th. You may enroll by the week. KCC camp offers tennis lessons, daily arts and crafts with an afternoon of sports & games along with a themed activity such as carpentry, pottery, Legos, and a whole lot of fun!
Camp day is 9am-4pm at the Kensington Community Center and Park. Morning and aftercare is available for an additional fee.
At KCC, we are always looking for ways to improve our camp experience while continuing to support our amazing staff through training and engagement. As part of these efforts, we are adjusting our regular camp hours to 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
We will continue to offer extended care from 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM each day for an additional fee. Extended care from 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM will be $25 for the week, and we are happy to share that there will be no increase in camp tuition this year.
We appreciate your support and look forward to another fantastic summer at KCC! Please reach out if you have any questions.
