Camp Foothills Weekly Camps

Camp Foothills offers a unique style of day camp. We run weekly camps for nine weeks where campers can pick their enrichment offerings each hour (for the week). Either sticking within a 3 hour block theme such as STEM Camp and attend exciting classes like Rocketry, Balloon Launch, and Airplane Design. Or campers can mix and match classes from the themed camp blocks and jump from thrilling classes like Kickball, to Creatures of the Deep, and then onto Weather Science making their own unique 3-hour block. Campers can attend camp for as short as a one hour class or can be with us for a full day of summer fun!

Our hourly blocks are broken down by grade levels ensuring maximum enjoyment for all campers! Our grade breakdowns are as follows... PreK-1st grade , 2nd-4th graders, and 4th-8th graders. PreK-1st graders, as well as the 2nd-4th graders have three offerings each hour to choose from, the 4th-8th graders have two offerings each hour. We create our summer offerings with options in mind!

We hope you join us this summer! We know its going to be a great one!

Summer High School For Credit

We begin registration for our Summer High School For-Credit Offerings on Tuesday, February 10th at 8:00am for all 8-11th graders. 

Our For-Credit Courses during the summer are only available in the High School's Kinetic Wellness Track. We will be offering Health & Wellness and Recreational Fitness (Blue) this summer beginning May 27th.

Scheduling a vacation or other fun activities this summer?  No worries, there will be three sessions offered this summer to choose from:
Session 1 - May 27-June 19
Session 2 - June 22 - July 16
Session 3 - July 6 - July 29 (Recreational Fitness - Blue only)

These courses are actually to get ahead and free a student's schedule's up during the school year to take other electives like Band or Theater.  It is a great way to get these semester courses out of the way in a short 18 days!

You can begin these courses after you have completed 8th grade.  It is a great way for incoming Freshman to be introduced to the High School environment, meet new friends and feel more comfortable on their new school campus.  

These courses run daily from 8:00am-2:00pm, giving students who need to work during the summer a chance to still hold a job and take a class.  

For busy parents & students we offer a pre-paid hot lunch option.  You can sign up before the course begins and select which days, based on our menu, you would like a hot, ready to eat, delicious, nutritious meal!

We do have some rules that need to be followed during our courses, like being on time, a dress code and most importantly that you can only miss 1 day (6 hours total) of class time or you do not receive a grade!  Since we pack so much information into such a short period of time, seat time is very important to get your grade!  

If you have conflicts like swim team or a "can't miss" vacation, then this summer might not be the right time to sign up for this course.  We do offer these selections every summer, so we hope that one of your next few summers you can find some time to join us and earn your high school credits!

Registration will be available on our website beginning Tuesday, February 10th!  Call us with questions!
