After one heck of a year and lots of lessons learned + a few extra wrinkles and gray hair, Camps across the Corridor area are preparing to help our kids have the best summer ever (and a much needed break for us)!
Get ahead of the game and get your kids registered for camp nice and early this year! Many are operating under limited capacity due to COVID-19 protocols, so space may be limited. Not to mention, registering early might even save you a few bucks!
The Iowa City-Cedar Rapids Moms 2021 Summer Camp Guide is here to help make the decision and registration process quick and easy, with all the info you need in one place! Scroll down for a list of top local day camps! You’ll find the age range for each camp, dates, sessions, special offers and how to register!
Please check back often! We will be making updates as needed and will provide 2021 COVID-19 protocols for camps as soon as the state of Iowa releases that information.
