Horumar Summer Programs

About the Program

Horumar Summer Programs give children and youth ages 8–15 opportunities to learn, connect and grow during the summer. Through hands-on activities, recreation and shared experiences, participants can build confidence, develop new skills and form meaningful friendships.

Families can choose between two distinct experiences: the month-long Horumar Summer Day Camp, offered in July, and the five-day Horumar Overnight Camp, offered periodically in August. Each program creates a welcoming environment where young people can stay active, try new things and enjoy their summer with others.
