WE ARE THE BEST SUMMER CAMP!

Located in Lower Merion, Friends’ Central’s Summer Programs have something for everyone. Our rich and varied summer programs, filled with endless fun and excitement, are available to children ages 3 and up. The same quality of excellence that marks Friends’ Central as one of the outstanding independent schools in the Philadelphia area also characterizes our summer programs, all of which are managed by Friends’ Central teachers who are invested in their school community and are committed to providing a happy, enriching, and safe camp experience for every child.

My kids LOVE this camp! The counselors are wonderful with the children and the variety of activities offered is fantastic. My kids cry at the end of camp each year! They miss their counselors and camp friends and very much look forward to summer just for camp! Thanks for everything you do- keep up the wonderful work!
