Play is our brains' favorite way of learning!

For years, Friends School of Wilmington has been the go-to destination for premier summer camp programming in the Cape Fear Region. Nestled on our expansive 11-acre campus--complete with a state-of-the-art Environmental Education Center--our camps offer something for every young explorer, from 3-year-old preschoolers to rising 8th graders. With themes ranging from sports and legos to pottery and photography, our camps are led by beloved FSW faculty, trusted community partners, and expert educators. At FSW summer camp, kids don’t just learn—they discover, create, and grow. It’s a place where intellectual curiosity meets playful exploration, character-building, and JOY!
