CHANGE SUMMER DAY CAMPS!
Where campers grow, explore, and belong.
Change Summer Day Camps create joyful, high-energy summer experiences for young people across Washington, DC and New York City. Rooted in school communities, our camps give students a safe, familiar space to build confidence, form real friendships, and try new things every day.
Each day blends structure with excitement. Campers begin their day with academic learning led by their school community, then transition into Change Summer—where afternoons are filled with movement, creativity, and connection.
From athletics and outdoor adventure to arts, STEM, and hands-on electives, campers are constantly discovering new interests and building real skills. Whether they’re on the field, on stage, or working as a team, every experience is designed to spark curiosity and joy.
At Change Summer, everything we do is grounded in four core values: independence, curiosity, responsibility, and confidence.
Campers are encouraged to take ownership of their experience, explore new interests with an open mind, show up for their community, and grow into their most confident selves.

A SUMMER THAT BUILDS MORE THAN MEMORIES
Our program is designed to complement the school day while giving campers the freedom to explore, create, and move. Each day includes engaging activity blocks across sports, arts, STEM, and more—along with dedicated time for community-building and reflection.
Campers build independence by making choices and trying new challenges.
They develop curiosity through hands-on learning and exploration.
They practice responsibility as teammates, leaders, and community members.
And they leave with lasting confidence in themselves and their abilities.
All of this takes place in a supportive, high-energy environment where every camper is seen, valued, and encouraged to grow.

Change Summer Day Camps are one of several camps within the Change Summer family. Change Summer partners with high-functioning schools to create high-quality, customized summer opportunities for their students.
Enriching summer experiences can profoundly influence young adults’ development across many domains.
