The City of Aurora Summer Camps offer exciting opportunities for children ages 7 to 12 to explore, learn, and grow through a variety of engaging experiences. Each camp is designed to inspire creativity, teamwork, and confidence while providing a safe and enjoyable environment. Campers can discover new interests and build valuable skills through activities in art, sports, music, theater, STEM, and many other areas. With programs thoughtfully created to spark curiosity and personal development, every child will find something to enjoy and thrive in. Join us this summer for memorable adventures that combine learning, friendship, and fun for young participants across Aurora.

At our camp, exhilaration is the norm—because kids call the shots! Since 1980, we’ve let campers design their days, choosing exactly how they want to build, create, play, and explore. This freedom fuels confidence, creativity, and independence like nothing else. And parents? They love the freedom, too! Choose any number of days or snag a Summer Pass for unlimited fun, with flexible drop-off and pickup (8 a.m.–6 p.m.), tasty included meals, and automatic refunds for unused days. It’s the ultimate blend of convenience and adventure—where kids thrive and families win all summer long.

This summer, give your child the gift of discovery at Butterfly Pavilion’s Rosie’s Discovery Camps! Designed for kids ages 5–9, these fun-filled, week-long day camps immerse young explorers in the fascinating world of invertebrates through hands-on STEAM activities, live animal encounters, and behind-the-scenes adventures. With themes like Junior Zookeeper, Aquatic Adventures, Spineless Superheroes, and Powerful Pollinators, every week is a new opportunity to spark curiosity and wonder. Led by enthusiastic, experienced counselors, Rosie’s Discovery Camps inspire kids to connect with nature—and each other! Scholarships available.
