2025 Summer Camps with Little Scholars

2025 Summer Camp registration will open on Monday, February 3rd at 5:30 p.m. and will close on Monday, February 10th. 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.

In order to expedite your registration:

  • Employee's eligible dependents must be verified and listed in the WEX Benefits Portal by the end of registration on Friday, February 10th 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).
