Rising K-7th Graders Welcome! Led by Whitfield faculty, staff, and The Whitfield School counselors, campers engage in hands-on activities, projects, and experiments each day. Campers will engage in an array of activities, including: outdoor adventures, sports/games, STEAM, leadership/team building, creative arts, and technology.

Our STEM Camp is a hands-on, project-based experience where students explore science, technology, engineering, and math in fun and meaningful ways. Campers will work with a variety of tools and materials to design, build, and test their ideas while tackling creative challenges that encourage curiosity and innovation.

Bring your drawings to life and tell your story frame by frame! Join Whitfield teacher Cara Foster for a fun and creative dive into the world of animation. In this hands-on camp, young artists will experiment with both traditional and digital animation techniques—learning how to make characters move, tell mini-stories, and create their own original animated shorts.

AI camp for rising 6-12 th graders. This in-person, 30-hour AI program hosted at Whitfield introduces students to today’s most powerful generative AI tools while guiding them to design and build an original AI application from scratch—focused on solving a social problem they care about. No programming or computer science background is required. Students are supported step-by-step using intuitive no-code platforms such as Lovable and Cursor, alongside hands-on exposure to modern Large Language Models, AI agents, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), and context engineering.

Open to rising 3-8th graders. The perfect opportunity for budding young athletes and seasoned players to dive into the exciting world of volleyball! Led by Whitfield Coaches McKinley Robbins, Maureen Dube, and members of the Whitfield upper school volleyball team, this camp is designed to introduce and develop fundamental skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

Camp 23 is for our friends who are entering 2nd or 3rd grade. These campers get a chance to experience camp without a parent for the first time. They enjoy all the fun, excitement, and learning of the older camps, but with a shorter stay.

JUNIOR HIGH CAMP is for students who are entering 6th-8th grades. At junior high weeks of camp, we want campers to explore what a truly committed relationship with Jesus means. Campers will have the time of their lives while building a solid spiritual foundation that will forever affect them.

KICK START CAMP is for our friends who are entering 2nd or 3rd grade who aren’t quite ready for the solo camp experience. This overnight camp is attended with a parent/guardian to help with introducing the camper to High Hill. Similar to First Chance Camp, this is a miniature version of camp meant to build camper confidence.

No camp July 3. Designed for children ages two and a half to five years, our summer camp program includes a wide range of creative indoor and outdoor activities, with time to explore and discover, play, and make friends. Since many hours are spent outside during summer camp, the nursery school playground provides opportunities to cool off with outdoor water play, including troughs, sprinklers, and hoses. Building in the sand and playing on the climbing equipment are two other favorite outdoor activities. Camp provides a morning snack. 3-Bears Camp is located in the Washington University Nursery School facility on the Washington University campus. It is composed of three classrooms and an all-purpose room, which are designed to offer children a variety of choices in their play. Our large outdoor play area gives children the opportunity to run, bike, swing, climb, slide, and play in the sand and water.

WSSL faculty Mr. Steve Cossey, Miss Erin Winkles, and Mr. Zack Zackmann invite campers to our Enchanted Forest Camp, an outdoor adventure filled with wonder and imagination! Campers will step into a magical woodland world, exploring our outdoor spaces and discovering the enchanted creatures that may be hiding along the way. Perhaps they’ll stumble upon a fairy home, catch a glimpse of a dragon’s tear, or uncover other forest surprises. As they wander through the enchanted forest, campers will collect natural materials to create their own fairy homes, bringing their imaginations to life outdoors. While the majority of the camp experience takes place outside, campers will enjoy a daily indoor restorative moment for rest, relaxation, and quiet connection. Indoor space will also be available as needed in the case of inclement weather.

This camp is perfect for active kids who love to move, play, and ride bikes. Mornings are filled with high-energy PE-style games like capture the flag, kickball, dodgeball, and other classic favorites. In the afternoons, riders transition to mountain biking, where they build foundational skills, confidence, and control on the bike. This camp is ideal for beginner to early-intermediate riders who can comfortably ride a bike and are ready to explore trail riding in a fun, supportive environment.
