Town Square Kids Programs and Camps
2026
At Town Square, we believe every child should have the opportunity to explore their passions, build confidence, and create lasting memories—and our summer programs are designed to do just that. From singing and stage presence at Broadway Music Camp to hands-on culinary adventures in Kids in the Kitchen, or the chance to unleash creativity at Art Camp and Learn2Fish with Us, there's something for every young explorer. These programs reflect our mission to provide inclusive, engaging, and enriching experiences that support families and build a vibrant community.
We’re excited to offer a scholarship opportunity for families who benefit from financial assistance—because access to quality programs shouldn’t be a barrier.
Please note that all program fees will include a 3.5% card transaction fee at the time of registration.
