About Cherryvale Day Camp
Cherryvale Day Camp is designed to provide outdoor experiences in a fun atmosphere where campers have the opportunity to be their most authentic selves. With fun-filled activities like arts and crafts, sports, farm enrichment at Milk and Honey Farm, trips to the pool, and much more, our campers will make friendships and memories that last. Cherryvale Day Camp strives for our campers to build confidence, try new things, and develop skills outside the classroom.
Cherryvale Day Camp is for children ages 4 - 13 (campers must turn 5 by October 15, 2026, and enter kindergarten in the fall - no exceptions). We offer classic day camp activities and specialty programs. Our staff emphasizes and engages campers in discussions about the universal values of community, joy, care, respect, growth, and generosity. Children of all backgrounds, faiths, and families are welcome to participate.
Please note last summer, many of the programs sold out, so be sure to register early.
Registration opens on January 11, 2026 at 10am MT for returning families and on January 14, 2026 at 1pm MT for new families.

Campers will also be able to share their work with the camp community.

Our camp specialist nurtures curiosity, encourages big questions, and builds a strong foundation for a lifelong love of science. After all, science isn’t just learning, it’s a little bit of magic.
