Headfirst Summer Camps

Be prepared to hear a lot about your camper's counselors. Your camper will know their counselor's name before they know the lunch schedule, and that's on purpose. We spend a lot of time on who we hire. Many of our counselors and leaders are teachers and educators during the school year, and we bring them on with one goal, a lasting impact on your camper. You'll likely see a lot of the same faces around camp this summer, since so much of our staff returns year after year. Swipe to meet a few of them.

Every spring, we get similar questions from parents.

😎Camp hours. What to pack. Swim. Counselor ratios. Nut allergies. Summer heat.

✅So we put the answers in one place. Everything you need to know before you enroll.

🌟Save it for the parent group chat. Share it with the friend who is still deciding. And when you are ready, Summer 2026 enrollment is open at headfirstcamps.com.

❔Have a question we did not cover? Drop it below or call our Customer Experience team at (202) 625-1921. We are here for the logistics, so you can focus on what matters: watching your kid grow.

At our soccer camp, campers learn the game, the footwork, and what it means to play as a team. Most importantly, they have fun with their teammates and our incredibly joyful, engaged counselors. Summer 2026 soccer weeks are open. Link in bio to enroll. ⚽

Story time after lunch at our Cathedral campus. The slower moments are doing just as much work as the loud ones (especially when DC turns up the heat). Every part of the day at Headfirst is intentional, because confidence and growth don't just happen during the big activities.
