When campers arrive this summer at The Kids at the Well Summer Camp in Apopka, they’ll find much more than games and crafts waiting for them.
They’ll walk into a growing program built around technology, leadership, entrepreneurship, physical activity, and faith — including a brand-new computer lab equipped with 17 donated computers from AdventHealth.
The camp, hosted at the Well Activity Center at 110 Athletes Row in Apopka, runs from June 8 through July 24 and is expanding both its age range and curriculum this year, according to camp director Rachel Taylor.
“This year is going to be very exciting,” said Taylor, who also serves as the Children’s Ministry Pastor for Patmos Chapel Seventh-day Adventist Church. “We want to help students prepare their websites and improve their social media presence. These are skills our kids will need later in life as they pursue their education and start their professional life.”
The expanded program now serves children ages 4 through 14 and introduces several new academic and technology-focused opportunities, including leadership training, entrepreneurship, graphic design, computer programming, robotics, and social media readiness.
Students will also build and program robots, work with Lego-based engineering activities, and participate in hands-on technology learning designed to prepare them for a rapidly evolving digital world.
The technology push continues a direction the camp began exploring in earlier years.
In 2025, the camp introduced students to Ozobots — small programmable robots that help teach coding, sequencing, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills through interactive play. The program was designed to make technology approachable for younger students while blending education with creativity and teamwork.
Now, with a dedicated computer lab and expanded curriculum, organizers say the camp is taking another major step forward.
“To support this initiative, the camp will launch a first-rate computer lab,” Taylor said. “If the need arises, we can access more computers.”
But technology is only part of the experience.
Taylor said physical activity remains a central component of the camp’s philosophy, with each week featuring a highlighted sport such as badminton, volleyball, basketball, or soccer.
“Physical activity is important for the campers,” Taylor said. “It’s one factor in building good health.”
Staff members from AdventHealth are also expected to speak with students throughout the summer about nutrition, wellness, and healthy lifestyle habits.
Alongside academics and athletics, the camp will continue offering field trips, creative arts activities, Ninja Warrior-style games, and faith-centered programming designed to create a safe and positive environment for children during the summer months.
“From field trips and sports, creative arts, and Ninja warrior games, every week is designed to keep campers active, engaged, and excited to show up each day,” Taylor said. “Parents can feel confident knowing their children are spending the summer in a safe, positive, Christian environment where they are cared for by nurturing leaders.”
The Kids at the Well Summer Camp first launched through Patmos Chapel as part of a broader effort to provide affordable, community-centered summer opportunities for Apopka families while blending academics, recreation, mentorship, and faith development.
Taylor said the larger goal remains creating an experience children will remember long after summer ends.
“Our goal is to give children an unforgettable summer packed with joy, a stronger faith in God, and memories they will carry with them for years to come,” she said.
