Day Camps
Greetings to everybody! Summer Camp 2025 registration is now open! Camp is available to K–8 children. We are very excited to be offering our preteens a brand-new, age-appropriate “Teen Camp!” The intention is to make this summer special for the kids who are there and ensure that they desire to return. Campers at Linden Summer Day Camp can try new things, develop their self-esteem, disconnect, and, of course, enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Arts & crafts, games, Fun Day, stem experiments, cooking, theme days, and many more activities are among the weekly special events we provide. We are excited to have your kid attend Linden Summer Day Camp. I am really excited to see you!
