Summer camps 2026
|
At CSMA, we believe summer is a time for building memories. It should feel like sun on your face, grass under your feet, and just enough structure to keep young minds sharp, without it ever feeling like “work.”
Our camps are designed to strike that balance. Each day blends outdoor adventure, movement, and hands-on exploration with meaningful academic engagement woven naturally into the experience. By the end of camp, students leave with a collection of memories that feel unmistakably like summer and stay with them long after camp ends. |

Morning Parkathon: Each morning, we will head out on a new park adventure, visiting one of the South Metro’s best parks and putting each playground to the test, using criteria they create for the ultimate park experience.
Sprinkler Engineering: In the afternoons, campers become engineers and bring their wildest sprinkler ideas to life. They will design, build, test, and improve their own creations. By the end of the week, their sprinklers will become part of the Cyprus Summer Water Park, where students will run through, cool off, and enjoy what they built throughout the summer.
