Youth Camps
Peak Summer Camp
We are excited to offer our PEAK Summer Camps for 2025!
The PEAK Summer Camp is designed for children 6 - 12 years of age and is an American Camp Association Accredited Camp. Each session is facilitated by highly motivated and energetic students and professionals.
Campers can expect a wide variety of activities, crafts, and games based around weekly themes, that will keep them engaged and active with campers in their age group. Utilizing several of the facilities that are operated by RecWell, we strive to offer something that every camper can enjoy.
This summer, PEAK will be offering 8 weekly sessions beginning in June, and ending in August, with no camp during the week of July 4th.
We will utilize many Recreation and Wellness Services (RecWell) facilities during PEAK, to provide a wide variety of activities and programming, but we will mainly use the Warren Student Recreation and Wellness Center (SRWC) as the “home base” for PEAK.
