Outdoor Summer Day Camp

Chartiers Summer Playground

March 9, 2021

Chartiers Township invites you to consider an outdoor day camp that runs all summer long; June 7, 2021 to August 13, 2021! Crafts, organized games, and outdoor fun await you in Arnold Park. Camp is open to ages 5 – 11 and families do not have to live in the area to participate. 

Chartiers Summer Playground focuses on capturing the spirit of summer and provides enriching, challenging, and active experience for time spent out of school. After much of 2020 was spent indoors, say goodbye to sitting in front of the computer/TV!  Our campers love our non-stop excitement weekly themes, water days, field trips, park exploration, guest speakers, and playground time. 

Parents should expect to send their child with a bagged lunch, reusable water bottle, closed toed shoes, and a mask each day. Rainy days are spent inside the Chartiers Township Community Center. Campers can attend one week or all 10 – we’re flexible!

All staff are required to have clearances and camp will be following recommendations provided by the CDC and Pennsylvania Department of Health regarding COVID19.
