Summer Blast

  • 6 night / 7 day 
  • For Campers Currently in Grades 2-8
  • On-Site & Off-Site Activities
  • Ideal For New and Returning Summit Campers

Campers in Grades 2–8 thrive in our 6 night / 7 day Summer Blast program, which is designed to provide the classic summer camp experience that’s perfect for both first-time and returning campers.

During their week at camp, Summer Blast campers get to explore all of Camp Summit’s fantastic program areas, including camp classics like archery, climbing, outdoor living skills, and biking. For our Intermediate and Senior campers, the adventure continues with exciting off-site activities such as hiking and canoeing at the beautiful Alice Lake, providing an unforgettable opportunity to experience nature beyond camp.

One of the unique features of Summer Blast is our focus on skill development. Campers are encouraged to set personal goals and work towards achieving their Summit Levels in key programs such as Archery, Climbing, Outdoor Living Skills, and Biking. Whether it’s mastering a new skill or challenging themselves to reach the next level, every camper has the opportunity to grow and celebrate their progress.

At Camp Summit, we ensure there’s plenty of variety in the daily schedule so campers can explore, learn, and enjoy a mix of activities. Campers are placed in cabin groups of 8–10 campers, with 2 staff leaders living in the cabin with them to provide care, guidance, and encouragement. For our core activities, cabin groups travel together to ensure age-appropriate programming and a supportive group experience.

In addition to scheduled activities, campers enjoy the freedom to choose their own adventures during our “Choice Program.” Whether they’re drawn to arts and crafts, climbing, nature exploration, or sports, campers can select activities that match their interests and make the most of their camp experience. 

A major highlight of the Summer Blast program is the always exciting Summit Olympics! Campers and staff come together for a day of friendly competition, teamwork, and fun as they tackle a variety of events to win gold for their Summit House Team. Campers are placed on their House Team when they first arrive at Camp and will proudly represent that team year after year—and for LIFE!

The Summer Blast program offers the perfect balance of adventure, skill-building, and classic camp fun in a safe, supportive environment. It’s a week filled with friendship, growth, and laughter, where campers leave with new skills, cherished memories, and a deep connection to the spirit of Camp Summit.
