As temperatures rise, PHXPlays Summer Camps are gearing up to provide a safe, supervised and engaging place for kids to spend their summer days. With experienced staff, thoughtfully planned activities and plenty of opportunities to stay active and cool, the camps help young participants build confidence, make new friends, and enjoy a summer full of fun.
Campers will enjoy themed activities each week, group games, arts and crafts, field trips and more. With both affordable weekly enrollment and convenient daily drop‑in options, the program makes it easy for families to build a schedule that fits their needs.
Camps run Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. (closed on city holidays) and are open to children aged 6 to 12 years old. The cost is $60 to $80 per week.
