2026 Summer Camps with Little Scholars

2026 Summer Camp registration will open on Monday, February 2 at 5:30 p.m. and will close on Monday, February 9. Registration will be available through the weekend, but it is recommended that you register early, as spaces fill up quickly. Acceptance is first-come, first-serve based on the time of registration. Visit our FAQs page if you have questions.

In order to expedite your registration:

• Employee's eligible dependents must be verified and listed in Workday by the end of registration on Monday, February 9 to avoid removal from the camp. Enrollment will not be processed without the required documentation.  
• If you are registering for the first time, you can set up your Sawyer account here. If you are a returning user, please ensure that you have your login credentials available.
• Acceptance is immediate until classes are full. Once a class is full, your dependent will be placed on a waitlist for that week and you will be notified if space opens up.
• Little Scholars manages camp registration. Any questions regarding waitlist status or camp registration should be directed to Nicole Brown at Little Scholars, info@littlescholarsllc.com or 804-447-4095.
