Summer is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start thinking about the perfect summer camp for your little one! If you have a six-year-old bursting with energy and curiosity, you want a camp that’s not only fun but also sparks creativity, builds skills, and creates lasting friendships. I’m here to guide you through some of the most exciting and enriching summer camps designed especially for kids aged 5 to 12 in the beautiful Sun Valley area. Let’s dive in and find the best fit for your child’s summer adventure!


Why Summer Camps for Kids Are a Game-Changer


Our summer chess camps are more than just a way to keep kids busy during the break. They are magical places where children grow, learn, and thrive! For six-year-olds, our camps offer a unique blend of structured fun and free play that helps develop social skills, independence, and confidence. Imagine your child exploring nature trails, painting colorful masterpieces, or learning to play a new sport - all while making new friends and creating unforgettable memories!


Here’s why our summer camps for kids are so important:


  • Social Development: Kids learn to share, cooperate, and communicate.

  • Physical Activity: Camps keep children active and healthy.

  • Creativity Boost: Arts, crafts, and imaginative play ignite creativity.

  • Skill Building: From sports to science, camps teach new skills.

  • Confidence Growth: Trying new things helps kids believe in themselves.


Sun Valley offers a variety of camps that combine these benefits with the stunning outdoors and a welcoming community vibe. Your six-year-old will be in great hands!

Vellotti’s Sun Valley Summer Camps are where learning, adventure, and FUN come together!


Kids don’t just sit around waiting for the next activity—they’re constantly exploring, creating, competing, laughing, and discovering something new. Every day is packed with engaging challenges and exciting experiences designed to keep young minds active and curious.


Whether your child is learning a new skill, tackling a challenge, making a new friend, or celebrating a small victory, every moment is an opportunity for discovery and excitement!



Our camps help children build confidence from the inside out.


As campers try new activities, solve problems, work with teammates, and overcome challenges, they begin to see just how capable they really are. We celebrate effort, creativity, persistence, and progress - not just winning or being the best.


That positive environment encourages kids to take healthy risks, try again when something is difficult, and proudly say, “I can do this!” The confidence they develop at camp can carry into the classroom, friendships, sports, and everyday life.

Now in our 23rd season, we've cultivated a powerful place for kids to develop important life skills while having an incredible time. Campers practice communication, teamwork, strategic thinking, decision-making, focus, patience, and problem-solving—all naturally woven into exciting games and activities.


Instead of feeling like traditional “learning,” these skills are developed through play, adventure, friendly competition, and hands-on experiences. Kids are having so much fun that they may not even realize how much they’re learning!


Our Summer Camps create lasting memories


Students make friends, share laughs, conquer challenges, discover new interests, and experience the excitement of being part of a team. We want every camper to leave each day saying, “That was AWESOME!” while also feeling a little more confident, capable, creative, and independent than when they arrived.


Vellotti’s Summer Camps aren’t just something to do during summer - they’re an adventure your child gets to be part of!
