ADVENTURE CAMP - For students entering Gr. 5-8 in Fall 2025
OPEN TO AVON RESIDENTS ONLY!
Join Avon Adventure Camp for a summer of fun in the sun, exploration, and exciting adventure! Each session will consist of a different field trip location every day, and lunch will be provided once each week. On days when the field trip ends early, campers will be able to swim at Sycamore Hills Pool, play beach volleyball, gaga ball, and other camp games! Participants can sign up for one week at a time or all seven sessions. Sessions fill up fast, so register early!
Please note that our Adventure Camp is not a typical summer camp. This camp has weekly field trips involving swimming, heights, and loud/busy environments.
