Get ready for an unforgettable summer at ACDS! We’re excited to offer 5 weeks of full-day themed camps and specialty morning and afternoon programs, running from June 16 to July 25, 2025. Whether your child loves arts, sports, science, or outdoor adventure, we have something for everyone.

Take a look at our Summer Camp Catalog and find the perfect camp for your child—don't miss out on a summer of fun and learning!

Our classic game design camp reimagined to include even more of what you love! Make your first video game in this one-of-a-kind class that gives you the keys to designing your first 2D platformer game. Conceptualization, level design, graphics, sounds, and simple coding are just some of the concepts that we’ll explore. No prior experience is necessary, just a desire to have fun! Student projects will be available on a password-protected Black Rocket website to share with friends and family. Students will work in pairs or teams for most of the program.
