Camp Cambridge
This summer, we hope your middle and high school students can join us for one of our four week-long camp sessions here at Cambridge.
During each session, our campers who want to make a day of it are welcome to sign up for morning classes and the afternoon activities, or for part of the day as they prefer.
Each morning class (one at 9 am and one at 11 am), led by one of our professors or staff members, runs at $150/week. Each afternoon activity, chaperoned by faculty and staff, will see our students going out and about in Dallas to enjoy bowling, rock climbing, pickleball, minigolf, trampolining, or other fun activities. A week of afternoon activities will cost $200/week, all expenses included.
Classes will require a minimum of five students to make. Refunds will only be processed if a class does not make. The current registration deadline is May 8th. If you have further questions about our camps, please email us at cambridge@cambridgedallas.org.
We hope our summer offerings can bring some structure and excitement to the early summer months, and we’re looking forward to seeing you at Camp Cambridge!
