AEF READYBREAK CAMPS
Ready Break Camps (RBC) Summer Camps provide elementary students with a fun, engaging, and active summer experience filled with hands-on learning and new friendships. Campers are grouped by their incoming grade level and stay with the same group throughout the week as they rotate through a variety of exciting activities, which may include art, STEM, cooking, physical education, games, and more. Our goal is to create a safe, welcoming environment where every child can explore new interests, build confidence, and make lasting summer memories.

ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CAMPS
Ready Break Camps 2026
A new format was introduced this year for our Elementary School Summer Camps! Instead of selecting a single subject for the week, campers registered by incoming grade level and rotate through a variety of fun activities throughout the week.
Each day, students experience a different subject area such as art, cooking, STEM, PE, games, and more. Campers stay with the same group for the entire week, allowing them to enjoy a wide range of activities.
During registration, parents will also have the option to request one buddy and we will do our best to place friends in the same group.
