Kindergarten-6th Grade

Goddard Riverside’s Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center’s summer camp serves young people entering kindergarten through seventh grade, offering activities and trips that nurture a love of learning and promote positive peer interactions. The program collaborates with local arts organizations and utilizes the rich resources of the area, including nearby parks and museums. 

The summer camp’s indoor activities include art, STEM, physical activity, talent shows, weekly group challenges, and more. Each summer, the camp introduces a different theme for its group challenges. Last year’s theme was ‘Technology.’ Children collaborated within their groups to tackle challenges through brainstorming and teamwork. 

Enrollment is still open for our summer camp! Secure a spot for your child by completing an application and emailing it to us at LSNCSUMMERCAMP@gmail.com.

Camp will run from Monday, July 1, 2024 – Friday, August 16, 2024.
