Summer at St. Mark's 2026

This summer will be spent traveling the world learning about other cultures and the sports, arts, food, and environments that make them unique, just like our campers and their families! Each week will focus on a different area of the world with a corresponding Friday Here-Trip to end the week with an exciting, interactive experience.
New this summer: We've added in a few new activities in our Routes! Get excited for Global Tasting, Gladiator Sports, and Theatre + Film.
Our 7th and 8th graders in our internship program will also have the opportunity to go off campus and even further investigate our themed weeks with off-campus field trips, visits from experts, and project-based learning each session.

Summer 2026 Routes:
Each week offers a new opportunity! Campers can continue to develop their skills in their original route or pick a new one and continue discovering what interests inspire them most.
In addition to our Activity Routes, we also include Fun Fabulous Friday Here-Trips where outside visitors come to offer an in-house field trip experience. The middle of the week includes Water Wednesdays for all our Pre-K through 8th grade campers, regardless of the route they choose, when the weather permits. On Thursdays, Little Lion Campers get some water fun with a splash pad, hoses, and spray toys!
Wacky Water Wednesdays: Campers will get to enjoy water play to cool off in the sun with a range of choices from water balloons to water slides. For more information regarding water play, please see our full camp descriptions.
Fun + Fabulous Fridays: Each Friday the Full Day Camp will have a “Here-Trip” where campers can enjoy an experience that aligns with the week’s thematic adventures. For a full list of Here-Trips, check out the camp themes below.
Optional Lunch Addition: Don’t feel like packing lunches? We offer the option to add on lunch provided from the camp. To see pricing, please visit our camp registration website.
Counselor-in-Training Program: This summer St. Mark’s will host the seventh year of our Counselor-in-Training program for middle school students hoping to gain leadership skills while having fun. In addition to CPR and First Aid, interview skills, team building, resume writing, and service learning, our rising 5th and 6th graders will also have time for some good ol' summer fun, with gym challenges, Water Wednesday, gaming, and more. Our middle school students will get to experience both the fun of camp in challenging and age-level sessions plus the leadership skills we’ve emphasized the past several years at Summer at St. Mark’s!
