The 2026 summer camp season is over. This page is a record of the kinds of programs families compared that year, not a list of open camps. The August sessions and waitlists mentioned in the earlier version are no longer actionable.
For the next season, use the live county, YMCA, school-district, and specialty-camp pages below. Registration dates, aid, and availability can change substantially.

Quick list
2027 planning checklist

- Ask school districts about summer program eligibility
- Compare hours, meals, transportation, and scholarships
- Use a current operator page before paying a deposit
What the 2026 search showed
Families looked across Martin, St. Lucie, and Indian River counties for full-day care and specialty weeks in nature, art, and sports. Those categories will likely remain useful, but the individual 2026 sessions and prices have expired.
Where to start next year
County recreation programs and the YMCA are a practical first pass for full-day coverage. The Environmental Learning Center, Oxbow Eco-Center, and local arts organizations are options for specialty weeks when their next calendars go live.
Local tip
Use the article for evergreen ideas and the newsletter for what is happening right now.
That combination gives you the best shot at finding something that fits the season, your schedule, and what is actually open or active this week.
Questions to ask before registering
Confirm age cutoffs, daily hours, meal inclusion, transportation, scholarship terms, cancellation rules, and what happens if a week fills. Keep a backup choice for each high-demand week.
