About
Harleysville Summer Day Camp offers swimming, arts and music, special events, sports, and tutoring during the summer season. Campers use two large outdoor swimming pools with certified swim instructors and lifeguards and have access to a tutoring classroom for summer learning. The camp also has a snack bar and restaurant with options for lunch and uses outdoor environments with colorful gardens and a variety of activities.
• Ages: 4–13 years old
• Schedule: Summer 2026 weekly sessions from 6/15–8/7, Monday–Friday with regular hours 9:00 am–4:00 pm and optional extended hours 7:00–9:00 am and 4:00–6:00 pm
The Harleysville Summer Day Camp groups children according to the school grade completed and gender, with 3- and 4-year-old age groups co-ed when the child turns 4 by October 2023 and is potty trained. The program states that it is structured and scheduled but not highly competitive, and that activities are geared to age levels. The camp notes that excursions form a vital part of a child’s early education and that it is committed to providing every camper with summer memories.
The staff includes local professional and certified educators, coaches, certified swim instructors and lifeguards, senior and junior counselors, specialty staff, and office personnel. The leadership team lists Joe Kilpatrick as the Day Camp Director. The camp states a mission that children learn by building on knowledge they already have, primarily through play, and that teachers create a rich environment to explore through educational activities.
The program lists values of providing a positive, safe environment, leadership, excellence, respect, and integrity, including a focus on recruiting and retaining quality teachers, good student discipline, and relatively small class sizes. It has a no-spanking policy that prohibits spanking or other corporal punishment as discipline, and this policy also applies to parents with their own children while at school or school-sponsored events. The camp notes that it is currently full for the 2026 season and that registration is full, and it is seeking staff members such as junior counselors, senior counselors, and special instructors for summer 2026.
