Local families gearing up for summer activities can now secure their children’s spots at one of Midlothian’s most anticipated summer programs. ACAC Fitness & Wellness has officially opened registration for its 2025 Summer Camp, beginning January 1st. The camp program promises an action-packed experience with activities ranging from daily swimming sessions to sports competitions, arts and crafts workshops, and themed weekly adventures. Available to both members and non-members of the fitness center, the camp offers extended operational hours from 7:00am to 6:00pm, Monday through Friday, providing working parents with a flexible and reliable childcare solution during the summer months.
🛡️ Safety First: Certified, Caring Staff
Safety and quality programming are at the forefront of ACAC’s camp experience, with all staff members certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid. The camp’s commitment to variety ensures that children with different interests will find activities they enjoy, whether they prefer indoor creative projects or outdoor athletic pursuits. With five specialized activity rooms—including clubhouse, creative, media, game, and theatre spaces—plus extensive outdoor facilities featuring a shaded pavilion and large turf field, campers can look forward to a diverse and engaging summer experience regardless of weather conditions. The camp is designed for rising kindergarteners through eighth-graders, making it suitable for a wide age range.
⚽ Something for Everyone
ACAC Summer Camp offers a straightforward pricing structure designed to accommodate different family situations. Members of the fitness center receive preferential rates at $440 per week, while non-members can enroll their children for $495 weekly. All registrations include a one-time $25 Family Registration Fee. The camp operates for a full 11 weeks throughout the summer, each featuring unique themes to keep children engaged and excited. Among the most anticipated themes is “Magical Mess” during Week 3 (June 16-20), historically the camp’s most popular session, while other weeks feature themes like “Wacky Water World,” “Space & Beyond,” and “Color Wars.”
📅 11 Weeks of Themed Fun
The facility’s extensive amenities elevate the camp experience beyond typical summer programs. Children enjoy access to ACAC’s premium sports facilities, including swimming pools where daily water activities are conducted based on age and ability levels. Weekly field trips add extra excitement to the schedule, with destinations including the Metro Richmond Zoo during “Animal Planet” week and Mission Laser during “Wacky Water World” week. Parents particularly appreciate the camp’s transitional approach, which keeps children engaged as they move between activities throughout the day. The highly structured program balances free play with organized group activities, ensuring campers remain engaged while developing new skills and friendships in a supportive environment.
💸 Transparent Pricing, Flexible Options
For families looking to maximize their children’s summer growth, ACAC offers valuable add-on services to complement the standard camp experience. Swimming lessons are available at $90 for members and $115 for non-members, providing a convenient opportunity for children to improve their water skills during camp hours. Tennis lessons are also offered at $80 for both members and non-members. Camp administrators recommend securing these popular add-ons during initial registration rather than waiting until the start of camp, as these specialized programs frequently sell out due to high demand.
🧾 Easy Registration, Flexible Payments
The registration process has been streamlined for both new and returning families through the Campsite parent portal. First-time campers should select the ‘New Camper Registration’ button to create an account, while returning families can simply log in with their existing credentials. For parents concerned about potential schedule changes, ACAC offers Camper Cancellation Insurance for $50 per week per child, which provides a full refund when cancellations are made in writing at least five business days before the camp week begins. Additionally, monthly payment plans are available to help families manage costs, with only the registration fee and any cancellation insurance collected upfront. Parent testimonials highlight the camp’s energetic staff and safe, entertaining environment, with one parent noting their child was “sad to go back to school because of leaving ACAC camp.”
