Summer Camps in Portland

Best Summer Camps in Portland, OR

Portland's kids' summer scene runs on museum-and-institution partnerships — OMSI's science-adventure camps, Oregon Zoo's animal encounters, Oregon Ballet Theatre's pre-ballet themed weeks at $200/week (one of the most affordable major-company ballet programs in the US), and naturalist-led nature camps in Forest Park and Tryon Creek. Add strong multi-arts programming through neighborhood studios in NE Portland and SE Portland, and Portland families have serious depth for a mid-sized city.

Filter below by age, price, or neighborhood. Portland registration typically opens in January or February. OMSI and Oregon Zoo camps fill fastest — often by March.
