Get ready for a summer of building memories with CU as we kick off camp with a "Blueprint for Fun". We'll raise the roof with laughter and creativity as we lay the foundation for another epic summer. From tower-ing learning to bridge-ing friendships, campers will nail down some new skills when we dig deep into the world of Architecture, Construction, and STEAM. With a cemented schedule of activities, every day promises to be a blueprint for a blast. So, grab your hard hat, measure your enthusiasm, and join us as we turn ordinary days into extraordinary creations during this "un-beam-lievable" week

Camp Community was created to prevent summer learning loss by giving kids the chance to grow and learn in a safe, fun, and inclusive environment. Our program not only supports students' basic needs but was crafted to help them thrive by introducing, reinforcing, and exposing them to the crucial skills they need both in the classroom and for beyond. Here are some of the skills CU looks to foster:
Foundational Literacies: ELA, Math, Science, Technology, Cultural and Social/Emotional
Critical and Creative Thinking
Collaboration and Leadership
Communication and Social Skills
Resiliency, Grit, and Growth Mindset
Career Readiness + Career Exploration
In addition to academic skill development, this summer CU is launching a fully theme-immersed series of camps that are designed to expose students to Career and Technical Education (CTE) through a hands-on learning experience. “Blueprint for Fun” incorporates the Architecture and Construction and STEM WISD's CTE endorsements. Using a cross-circular, multidisciplinary approach, students will learn about these industries, what they do, and the career options that exist in each field.

As a 501(c)3 nonprofit, all contributions towards programming are considered a donation and in turn, are tax deductible. Because of this, any contributions made are nonrefundable. If your child is unable to attend, we will happily issue a credit that can be applied to future participation or can be applied towards a scholarship for a family in need.
FAMILIES SEEKING SCHOLARSHIPS: In line with our mission, Camp CommUnity has reserved a set number of spaces each week to offer free of charge to students whose families could benefit from support. In partnership with Wimberley ISD, scholarships will only be made available to families who are currently enrolled in free and reduced lunch within the WISD. Access codes will be sent via email; if you do not receive an access code, proof of enrollment is required to register. Families registering with an access code that does not qualify will be unenrolled or asked to make a monetary donation toward their child's enrollment. If your family currently doesn't qualify for free and reduced lunch but is in need of scholarship assistance, please reach out to [email protected] to inquire about reduced camp enrollment, payment options, or other support that might be available PRIOR to registering. Decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Registration for this schedule starts on 01/31/2024 and ends on 06/24/2024
Participants must be entering grades 1 to 6.
