The Phoenix With Kids Summer Camps Guide for 2026

Find the perfect summer camp for your child this year!

Our curated summer camps guide is organized by interest areas and includes summer camps we think are interesting and fun. This isn’t a list of every summer camp, but our picks and selections that we think look interesting.

Choose an interest:

• Sports
• Animals
• Art
• STEM
• Theater
• Music
• Cooking, Baking & Crafts
• Education
• Overnight Camps
• Mixed Activities

Here are some things to consider when choosing a summer camp for your child:

• does the summer camp fit your budget?
• if you’re unsure where to start, ask friends for summer camp recommendations!
• do you want to drive your child a distance or stay nearby?
• what interests does your child have? Anything new they want to learn this summer?
• read and consider reviews on Yelp, Google, and local parenting groups.
• plan for variety! Sports camps may be fun for a few weeks, but try switching it up by trying an art class for a week!
• also, check your city’s parks and rec programs for possible classes and summer camps.

Please contact us if you know of a great summer camp you’d like to suggest.

Best Phoenix Summer Camps

Our summer camps are divided into 10 separate camp categories. More than 40 of our summer camps belong in the sports category, so look there if you are interested in basketball, soccer, and baseball. The STEM category of summer camps continues to grow in popularity, with many summer camps about science, learning to code, and math.

Are you looking for a specialized summer camp? Use our contact us form to get in touch and let us know what you were looking for, and we will try to make a recommendation.

Each summer camp offers a different schedule, so you’ll want to confirm hours and class expectations with the summer camps.
