Summer Camp 2022: Citizens of Summer!
Tender Years’ Citizens of Summer is a comprehensive summer camp program that is designed to give children ages 5-12* a well-rounded “summer vacation” that makes learning an absolute blast! Your child has eleven weeks of amazing experiences to look forward to, including…

- And so much more!
This year’s Summer Camp will give your child the opportunity to discover, explore, and play in ways that will keep them engaged and enthused all summer long! Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your child is in good hands. We pride ourselves on excellent supervision and a safe environment. Many of the camp staff are PA licensed teachers and they’re certified in Pediatric First Aid and CPR.
