Summer Camp
Summer Camp 2026: Join us for an enriching summer of art, sports, dance, reading, outdoor fun and much more. Campers are involved in daily creative arts activities (music, movement, arts and crafts, etc), as well as STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities. PIC's urban campus provides easy access to all that the Greater Philadelphia area has to offer.
Summer Camp features exciting weekly themes, special guest instructors, and fun field trips! This year’s themes are:
Amazing Animals - Get ready for a wild adventure! From the tiniest insects to the largest mammals, campers will learn about and meet the creatures that make our world amazing.
Future Entrepreneurs - Campers will learn how to brainstorm business ideas, create a logo, and make merchandise, all culminating in an Expo where campers can check out the other businesses and share their products!
Underwater Wonders - This week takes campers on an exciting journey beneath the waves and through explorations of water - from science experiments to slip and slides.
Creative Chefs - This week for young food lovers and kitchen adventurers is the perfect place for campers to mix, stir, and whip up fun while learning the art of cooking.
Showtime Stars - This dynamic week is perfect for young performers who love singing, dancing, acting, and all things theatrical.
Superhero Academy - Campers will create their superhero identity and develop super skills in teamwork, problem-solving, creativity, and courage!
Nature Explorers - Campers will discover the wonderful world of nature by exploring the great outdoors, through hands-on activities like scavenger hunts, and creating nature art.
Camp celebration/ Campapalooza - A big end-of-summer celebration with food, water ice, fun, and memories that last all year!
