Looking for a summer camp for your child? We’ve received a few requests from parents for information on summer camps in Myrtle Beach, so we’ve put together a list of resources for you to explore.
This year is going to be a bit different, of course, but we’re keeping an eye out for all of the low-cost/affordable summer camp programs that are opening up for summer 2022.
Registration for a few of these summer camps has already began, we’ve noted that in camp descriptions.
Summer camps can vary from reading/academic camps to sports camps to arts and crafts, gymnastics and everything in between, hopefully you can find a 2022 summer camp that you and your child will enjoy.
If registering more than one child, most Myrtle Beach area summer camps have reduced rates for additional siblings.
Note: As one might expect, most (if not all), summer camps were cancelled or activities curtailed for the past couple of years. While doing research for this article, our staff found numerous summer camps or activities that contain outdated and/or “pre-Covid” information and registration pages. In order to give our readers the most complete and up-to-date information, we have decided not to include these in this article.
Programs that are updated for 2022 are noted as:
