Check out Carlisle Parks and Recreation's 2023 Summer Day Camp! This 11-week, full-day camp is packed full with fun weekly (& some daily) themed games and crafts; sports and other challenges; and walking field trips in downtown Carlisle including adventuring at local parks, and trips to the Carlisle Community Pool every Tuesday and Friday. Campers will make amazing friendships, great memories, and have positive role models. Camp Counselors undergo strict clearances.
