Camper Groups
Summer Alive 2026 welcomes kids ages 5–10, divided into two types of camper groups:
Acorns are ages 5, 6, 7, and must have completed kindergarten.
Oaks are the 8, 9, and 10-year-old group.
Duration
Four one-week camp sessions are held from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Children may attend one or both week-long sessions.
For the 2026 edition, Acorn camp (Sessions 1 and 2) runs from June 15 – 26. Oak camp (Sessions 3 and 4) runs from June 29 to July 10.
Location
This year, Summer Alive nature camp will be held in 2 locations. Weather permitting, Summer Alive is held in the woods at the end of Bower Street in Montgomery. We are grateful to the Montgomery Water Authority for allowing campers to have a genuine nature experience in this beautiful hardwood forest. On days when the weather does not allow us to be in the woods, the spacious Montgomery Borough Park, at 119 First Street in Montgomery, PA, framed by Route 54 and the Susquehanna River, provides picnic pavilions and a lodge for Summer Alive activities.
