Quakertown Borough sponsors a summer recreational camp for children ages 7—12 from June-August. The program is K.I.D.S.— Kids Involved Doing Something. The K.I.D.S. Camp is held from Monday – Friday 9am – 3:30pm for children ages 7-12. 

2017 Fee Increase: The Quakertown Borough K.I.D.S. Camp has been a staple of the Quakertown community for over forty years, providing a safe, fun, and positive environment for local area children. The camp program has grown considerably over this time. The average daily camper attendance has gone from forty-five to nearly two hundred in just the last decade alone. As the program has grown, so has the cost of staffing and supplies. To ensure the long term sustainability of the program, starting in 2017 both borough residents and non-residents will be charged a weekly fee for each registered camper.
 
Residents will be charged $50 per week/per child, and non-residents will be charged $100 per week/per child. Registration will become available April 3rd. If you have any questions about the registration process, please contact Parks & Recreation at 215-536-5001.

General Information
  • K.I.D.S. was started by former Quakertown Community School District physical education teacher, Jane Stover. The program was initiated for the children of the community to have a safe, creative and entertaining summer experience.
  • We are very proud that our program was once featured in National Geographic’s World Magazine!
  • Our counselors are former program participants who have grown up with the K.I.D.S. Camp.
  • They volunteer to participate in our Counselor-in-Training (CITs) program, and after completing the training program they may be hired as a counselor.
  • By having children grow up in the program and move into the program as counselors, it gives them a unique opportunity to make the program their own and one of a kind.
  • The imagination of our counselors and the enthusiasm of the children is what keeps our camp going strong.
  • Children have the opportunity to participate in all types of events; crafts, board games, outdoor games, special themes, and paper & box mazes!!
  • It’s a complete summer of fun, and we would love for you to be a part of it.
  • Each week has a special theme.
  • Often the counselors will dress up as characters that the children are familiar with.
  • Special games are played, skits are acted out, and children are escorted through very cool mazes!
