If your kiddo has been counting down to their DAC Camp week, good news: it’s coming around, and there’s still a run of themed weeks ahead before Summer Camp wraps up on 8/28. Whether you’re filling one more week before school starts or just found out you need Thursday covered, here’s what’s left and how to grab it.
The Weeks Still Open
Summer Camp runs 6/15 – 8/28 for ages 6-12, and these are the themed weeks still ahead:
- Camp Champions, 7/13 – 7/17
- Explorer’s Club, 7/20 – 7/24
- Disney: Magic Kingdom, 7/27 – 7/31
- Under the Sea, 8/3 – 8/7
- World Games, 8/10 – 8/14
- Journey into Adventure, 8/17 – 8/21
- Ocean Explorers, 8/24 – 8/28
Camp runs by the week, not the day, so campers get a full theme from Monday through Friday instead of a one-off activity.
A Day at DAC Camp
Camp runs 8am – 4pm, and the day is built around a mix of movement, creativity, and downtime so campers actually have room to be kids:
- 8am, Drop Off in the Loft
- 8:30am, Active Games + Team Challenges in the Gymnasium
- 10:30am, Snacks
- 11am, Creative Activity + Movement
- 12pm, Lunch
- 1pm, Swim in the Fitness Pool
- 2pm, Active Games in the Gymnasium
- 3pm, Snacks + Wind Down
- 4pm, Pick Up in the Loft
Swimming happens every day, so campers who can’t yet pass our swim safety test (treading water for one minute, then swimming 25 yards unassisted) wear a life vest in the pool. A certified lifeguard is on deck throughout, and towel service is provided. Be sure to bring your swim goggles for your little swimmer!
What It Costs
Member Price: $252 per week | Guest Price: $297 per week
That covers the full week, all activities, and daily swim. Camp is for members and non-members – all are welcome!
Referral Gift
Refer a new camper and both families earn a free 30-minute swim lesson.* That’s a gift for your family and theirs for joining the camp fun.
How it works:
1. Your referral signs up for a full week of camp.
2. Both families receive a 30-minute swim lesson…on us!
3. Swim lessons must be redeemed by August 31, 2026.
To refer a family, email Leah at programs@downtownac.com and let her know who sent you.
*Open to currently attending DAC Summer Camp 2026 families only. Limit one referral gift per household. Referred family must be a first-time summer 2026 enrollee and must name the referring family at registration. Upon the referral completing one full week of camp, both households receive one complimentary 30-minute swim lesson redeemable by any household member. Lesson has no cash value, is non-transferable, and must be scheduled by August 31, 2026. Offer valid while availability lasts.
To schedule your lesson, email Leah at programs@downtownac.com.
How to Grab a Spot
Fill out the inquiry form on our Youth Camps page and a team member will follow up with registration. If you’re parking for drop-off or pick-up, the Overpark Garage at 1000 E 10th Ave validates up to three hours with your Club visit (the first hour of parking is free).
Camp sits alongside the rest of what we run for families this summer, including swim lessons and KidStop for the days you just need an hour or two. Between camp weeks or after pick-up, it’s an easy way to keep the summer going without adding it to your own to-do list.
