2020 Summer Camps

Get ready for our 2020 summer! Each session features creative explorations and projects that emphasize resourcefulness and using materials in new ways. Children will be grouped by age during these sessions. All campers must be potty trained.

Camps are located at the Durant Center (1605 Cameron Street) unless otherwise noted.  The City of Alexandria is also offering several camps at the Durant Center over the summer, including before and after care starting as early as 7a and ending at 6p. UpCycle staff can assist in picking-up or dropping-off children from programs that are in the Durant Center.

​Cancellations made 30 days before the start of camp will receive a refund. After that camp sales are final.Contact our director with questions, on-site program coordination requests or to cancel a registration.

Spaces for CITs (ages 12-15 years) are available for all weeks of camp. CITs create along-side campers while helping with set up and clean up, being role models, gaining leadership skills and making the camp experience even more fun! CITs sign a CIT agreement and pay a fee of $100/week. Contact us to discuss CIT opportunities available this summer.
