St. Croix offers an exceptional variety of youth camps this summer, designed to entertain, educate, and inspire! From creative arts to marine science and sports, here are some standout programs to explore.

Summer 2025 on St. Croix is bursting with opportunities for youth to learn, play, and grow through a variety of exciting summer camps. Whether your child is into science, storytelling, agriculture, or the arts, there’s a local camp ready to spark their interest. These camps are more than just a way to keep kids busy—they’re immersive experiences that connect young people with the island’s culture, natural environment, and community spirit.

Among this year’s offerings is the Youth Moviemaking Workshop at UVI, where kids aged 11–16 learn screenwriting, filming, and editing, all leading up to a red carpet film debut. The Island Explorers Day Camp offers ages 5–14 a mix of gardening, cultural crafts, bush cooking, and Crucian folklore. For teens interested in sustainability, the ACE (Agricultural Career Exploration) program provides hands-on learning in animal science, aquaponics, and food entrepreneurship. Kids with a love for the sea can join Youth Ocean Explorers, a marine science camp featuring snorkeling, coral reef studies, and even scuba certification. Meanwhile, Camp Wall offers outdoor adventures like kayaking, beach hikes, and team games for local scouts.

Creative campers can head to Thalema Williams Studios for summer intensives in dance, tumbling, and theater. The Buccaneer Resort also runs a daily youth program with crafts, nature walks, and beach activities. What makes these programs truly special is how they integrate Crucian culture, history, and ecology—helping campers build not just skills, but a deep connection to their island home. For families seeking enriching, affordable, and fun-filled options, St. Croix’s youth camps offer the perfect summer solution.
