Other Camps & Summer Fun in Harrisburg & West Shore: The Wild Card of Summer Adventures
Looking for something off the beaten camp trail? Maybe your kid isn’t a mini Picasso, a coding whiz, or the next Olympic hopeful—but that doesn’t mean their summer has to be boring! The “Other Camps & Summer Fun” category is where we stash the wild cards of awesomeness. Think quirky, creative, and just plain cool.
From unique specialty camps to off-the-wall activities, this is where kids can discover unexpected passions, make new friends, and create memories that might not fit into a neat little box—but definitely deserve a scrapbook page.
Not into traditional camp settings? No problem. This section also highlights local summer fun like pop-up events, family-friendly festivals, and drop-in activities that are perfect for shaking up your summer routine.
So, whether your kid dreams of perfecting their magic tricks, starting a YouTube channel, or just trying something totally different, we’ve got you covered. Let’s explore all the “other” ways to make this summer unforgettable!
