2026 Summer Day Camp
Summer Day Camp is for FHPS students in Jr. kindergarten through sixth grade. All children enrolling in Summer Day Camp must be currently enrolled for the fall at a Forest Hills elementary school. Most of the day is spent with like-aged children and an experienced group leader facilitating age-appropriate activities. Child-adult ratio complies with the State of Michigan child care regulations and it is a licensed program. The fun, exciting summer program is designed to allow flexibility in scheduling.
