Your guide to summer 2026 day camps
Time to plan your kid’s best summer ever.
Some summer day camps start sign-ups early in the calendar year, or even earlier for return campers. Some summer camp details don’t come out until spring. But you can start planning — and in many cases, registering — for weeks of summer adventure now.
If you’re new to the day camp game, keep in mind that return campers often get early access to sign-ups, so taking a second-choice week or program for this summer can help you get your top picks next summer. (The very first week of camp and the week around July 4 are often easier gets at a popular camp.) Also, other campers’ plans can change, so ask about and sign up for wait lists when possible.
Here is a roundup of day camps in the greater Manchester, Concord and Nashua areas with full- or half-day program options. Information is based on websites and social media pages, unless otherwise stated, that have announced summer 2026 camp plans (even if it’s just a plan to have plans later in the spring). Some camps may have extended care options or teenage counselor-in-training options not mentioned here. All phone numbers listed here have the 603 area code unless otherwise noted. Some camps that ran in previous years but have not yet updated their 2026 information are included with a note to check back for updates (camp offerings may change for this year). See websites or call for costs, which can vary based on number of weeks in camp, siblings at the camp during a summer, memberships, etc.
