Delaware Camps for When School’s Closed for the Day

09/29/2016 by Robin Elton

Random little holidays. In-service days. It can be a serious pain when kids have a vacation day, but Mom and Dad don’t! Here are some fun options for Delaware camps when schools close for the day.

Too old for daycare, too young to stay home alone. Looking for something fun for your kids to do when they get a scheduled day off of school?

Here are a couple of options for no-school-today Delaware camps:

The Delaware Museum of Natural History

These camps run from 9am to 4pm, with extended morning or aftercare available for an extra fee. Kids ages 5 through 10 can hang out at the museum and participate in games, crafts and other activities (weather permitting, hot dogs may or may not be roasted over a campfire). $40 for members; $45 for non-members. Registration is open; the DMNH will also be offering camps for spring break so keep an eye out for that.

  • Columbus Day Camp: Monday October 10th
  • Election Day Camp: Tuesday November 8th
  • Veterans Day Camp: Friday November 11th
  • Martin Luther King Day Camp: Monday January 16th 2017
  • Presidents Day Camp: Monday February 20th 2017

Delaware Nature Society

Delaware Nature Society camps start at 8:30am and go to 3:30pm, but aftercare is available until 5:30pm for no additional charge. $55 for members and $75 for non-members, register here.

  • Wednesday October 12th: Water Striders for ages 5 through 12 at the DuPont Environmental Education Center or Survivor at Flint Woods for ages 6 through 12 at the Ashland Nature Center
  • Tuesday November 8th: Your Artistic Nature for ages 5 though 12 at the DuPont Environmental Education Center
  • Friday November 11th: Holiday Crafts and Games for ages 6 through 12 at the Ashland Nature Center

Brandywine Zoo

For ages 5 through 13, these camps have a morning drop off from 8:15 to 9am; pickup is from 3:30 to 4pm. Aftercare is available until 5pm for an additional fee. $50 per camper or $40 Delaware Zoological Society Members. A procrastinator’s dream, pre-registration is required only a day in advance.

  • Election Day Camp: Tuesday November 8th
  • Veteran’s Day Camp: Friday November 11th

I’m sure there are many more options out there I don’t know about, and I’ll continue to update this page so keep it bookmarked.

Have you come across any other school year one-day Delaware camps?

Where do your kids go on their days off?
