Chapel Hill’s Department of Parks and Recreation runs a fun variety of camps for children and teens in Chapel Hill and surrounding areas. With full-day coverage and both traditional and special-focus camps, campers explore their interests, fill their days with fun, and forge new friendships with kids in their community. Camps are held at several parks, community centers, and schools across Chapel Hill, with each location bringing its own flavor to the camp experience. Camps hosted at the Chapel Hill Community Center offer a well-rounded mix of all-day fun, with arts & crafts, group games and challenges, swimming, gym games, field trips, and plenty of outdoor fun exploring the playground, picnic areas, and trails. Some weeks feature special-focus camps giving the chance for a deep dive into your child’s areas of interest.
