Middle Schoolers

From June 1st through August 21st, kids will flip, climb, tumble, and create in an upbeat environment designed to keep them active, learning, and happy. Each week brings a new theme filled with gymnastics, ninja challenges, games, crafts, and activities that build confidence, coordination, and friendships that last long after summer ends.

Our staff makes the biggest difference: energetic, caring, and fully engaged every day. They’re magicians at turning ordinary moments into big wins and helping every child succeed, no matter their skill level.

Camps fill quickly at our locations in Chesterfield, Ellisville, Ellisville Ninja City, Manchester, Mid Rivers, Rock Hill, and Team Central (Maryland Heights).

Sherwood Forest Summer Camp serves children from low-income households and underserved communities in Missouri and Illinois, who live at or below the federal poverty line. We strive to establish and sustain long-term relationships with our campers, their families, and the agencies and schools that serve them. By balancing traditional camp adventures with evidence-based programs that reinforce and support school-year learning, Sherwood Forest connects with, educates, and inspires the youth of St. Louis. Sherwood Forest’s Quest program is designed for children in 1st-9th grades who live in the St. Louis region.
