Next Wave Camps at Mitchell College offer engaging summer experiences designed to inspire curiosity, creativity, and confidence in young learners. Hosted on Mitchell’s scenic campus, these camps combine hands-on learning, active exploration, and mentorship in a supportive college environment.
Offered Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., each camp introduces students to new interests and future possibilities through structured daily programming that blends skill-building, teamwork, and fun. Campers participate in interactive sessions led by Mitchell College staff, student mentors, and community professionals who bring real-world knowledge and enthusiasm to each experience.
Whether exploring STEM and healthcare careers, developing athletic skills, or expressing creativity through the arts, Next Wave Camps encourage students to discover their passions while building friendships and confidence along the way.
With small group experiences, engaging activities, and opportunities to learn from mentors and local professionals, Next Wave Camps provide a dynamic summer experience where curiosity leads the way.
To support families’ schedules, aftercare is available Monday through Thursday from 3:00–5:00 PM, offering a structured and supervised environment where campers can continue to relax, connect, and unwind after a full day of activities. Please note that Fridays are half days, and aftercare is not offered. Aftercare is available for a weekly fee of $100, or $25 per day for added flexibility.
