Summit Summer Camp Round Up: Time To Register

SUMMIT, NJ — Summer will be here before you know it, and several camps in and around Summit are already open for registration.

With COVID restrictions easing up, there are many in-person summer camps available for kids around Summit this year. Patch has compiled a list of camps that are now open for registration.

See the round up below:

Robot Revolution

Robot Revolution is New Jersey's largest robotics school and is offering a summer camp in both Summit and Edison.

As of now, Robot Revolution is limiting capacity to 50 percent, and students and instructors will get daily health screenings, temperature checks and will be required to wear masks at all times.

There will be no food or drink at the facility unless the student is packing a lunch for a full day. All pickup and drop off will be curbside and no parents will be allowed inside.

Here are some of the camps they are offering this summer:

• Introduction to Robotics Onsite (for new students in grades 4-8): Students will be able to build their own VEX IQ robot and solve a series of fun challenges. This is a half-day, two-week class. Register here.
• Robotics Summer Projects Onsite (for continuing students in grades 4-8): Continuing students will be challenged with new projects every week and can get a head start on their competition robot for the fall. Both half-day and full-day options are available. Register here.

More options for Robot Revolution camps are coming soon, according to their website.

Summit Schools Camp

Summit is currently offering a 10 percent off summer camp registrations through March 31.

Summit Schools offers summer camps for K-6th graders in academics (reading/writing and math), Healthy Lifestyles & Recreation camps and themed camps. Both full-day, or morning and/or afternoon camps are offered. Morning and afternoon extended car (XDay) is also available.

Themed camps are coded S.T.R.E.A.M. — Science, Technology, Reading & Writing, Engineering, Arts and Math. These are offered weekly and all courses/lessons taught within a week will focus on one specific area of S.T.R.E.A.M.

Students will be instructed by teachers in smaller groups based on their age-appropriate classroom groupings Find registration here.

Summit Church Camp

Several Summit churches have teamed up to offer a camp for kids this summer, called commUNITY Camp. Central Presbyterian Church on Maple Street will host the week-long camp, in partnership with St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church, Christ Church and Calvary Episcopal Church.

The camp, running from 8:30 a.m. to noon, from July 25 to 29 will include stories, snacks, games, music, science and a focus on community service through a connection with Bridges.

This summer’s camp will also be supplemented by several youth-led “after-camps” that will take place in the afternoons following commUNITY Camp. From noon to 4:00 p.m. mini-camps including sports, theater, cooking and more will be available. These camps were developed by youth leaders, assisted by adult mentors, and will be fully supervised.

To register for any of these camps, visit centralpres.org.

Summit Community Programs

Several camps are being offered by Summit Community Programs, including a recreation camp, sports camp, pony share camp, speciality camps, Little Hilltopper Camp and On the Ball Soccer Camp.

Registration for these camps must be done in person at the Summit Community Center at 100 Morris Avenue. Online registration will open once all in-person individuals have registered, should any spots remain.
