Campers will participate in field trips every week that correspond with that week’s theme as well as swimming each week. This fun and enriching camp is open to all kids 5-14 years of age. You don't even need to be a Peoria Academy student to attend! PA is offering a range of camp experiences this summer and we would love for you to be a part of this adventure! Camp will run for 9 weeks from June 3rd through August 9th.
