Boiler Kids Camp Announcement for Summer 2024:

It is with great pleasure and excitement that we announce the expansion of the Boiler Kids Camp, an interactive and educational day camp catering to children aged 5 to 12. 

Boiler Kids Camp is set to expand significantly, adding a total of 210 additional spots over the course of the 7-week summer session. This expansion underscores our commitment to providing a safe, enjoyable, and enriching environment where children can engage in a diverse array of activities, including rock climbing, swimming, arts, crafts, and more. 

We express our sincere gratitude to First Lady Kei Hui for her steadfast commitment to advocate for the lives of Purdue families and nurturing the well-being of our children. Together, we celebrate this pivotal moment and eagerly anticipate fostering an even stronger sense of community and enrichment at Boiler Kids Camp. 

In alignment with our focus on Purdue families, the additional spots will be reserved exclusively for Purdue faculty, staff, alumni, and students. These additional openings will be allocated from the waitlist. 

A friendly reminder that registration opens at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, February 28. Should you have any inquiries regarding registration procedures, please do not hesitate to contact Kiley Foss by emailing kbfoss@purdue.edu.
