The Eagle has an insert every Spring -- "Summer Fun" -- with some summer activities. Some ideas here -- http://theeagle.com/summerfun2011/things-to-do/

Cub Scout Summer Day Camp -- June 20-24 -- will be held at Camp Howdy (the Girl Scout Camp on Jones Rd.)

I believe Camp Howdy registration has ended. They usually accept late registration with am adult volunteer attached.

Allen Academy has a bunch of great activity and athletic camps.

Don Eddy Basketball camp June 27 - July 1 at Brazos Christian. There are others throughout the state, too.
www.debb.com
There's also BV Troupe and Camp Aggieland in August.

5th Annual Brazos Christian School Summer Art Camp! July 25-29, 10-3pm. This year's theme is "Come MINGLE WITH THE MASTERS!" Campers will get to know Masterpiece Artists and their lives through hands-on activities, story-time and skits and will create their own masterpieces using skills imitating those of the artists! For ages Kindergarten - 6th grade. For information and registration please contact dee(dot)morwood(at)verizon(dot)net.

I'm guessing you're not looking for overnight, but if you are, Camp Allen outside Navasota is excellent. Good deal for the money, lots of activities, and the kids just get to be kids for a week. Structured, Christian-based, just can't say enough good. My son has gone for 7-8 years, plans on being a counselor there.

If my son knew another 4th grader going, I'd definitely send him to Camp Allen!!!

We have an interesting selection of summer classes at Saint Michael's: Camp Polygon for incoming Grade One kids, Summer Guitar Workshop for Grades 3 and up, Shakespeare Summer Camp, and even Latin for Grown-Ups! Go to STMES.NET for more info!

CSISD Enrichment...

the George Bush Library has some awesome summer camps. http://bushlibrary.tamu.edu/education/summer_programs.php
They have full day and half day camps. This year it's all about healthy habits!
