Summer & break camps in Kansas City, MO.
Summer and school break camps are coming to the Missouri side of Kansas City. Join the list, or host a camp at your site.
Summer camps in Kansas City.
We run summer camps in St. Louis, Nashville and Medford. Summer camps aren't running in Kansas City yet; once a Missouri-side host site is confirmed, open weeks will be listed and the Kansas City email list hears first.
School break camps in Kansas City.
Break camps aren't running in Kansas City yet either. When they launch, they'll be built around Missouri-side district calendars and bookable by the day.
Your building sits empty on every day off.
Schools and rec centers across Kansas City, MO, Lee's Summit, Independence, Liberty have gyms and fields that go quiet in summer and on break days, while families scramble for coverage.
Hosting a camp puts that space to work for your own community, without adding a single task to your staff's summer.
- Families asking where to send kids
- Facilities unused for weeks
- No staff available to run camps
We run it. You get the credit.
We bring the counselors, equipment, curriculum and registration. You provide the space. Families in your community get summer and break camps close to home.
$0 cost to your school
Families register and pay us directly. Your office never handles forms, money or refunds.
Everything brought in
Coaches, equipment, curriculum and supplies arrive with us and leave with us.
Vetted, trained staff
FBI fingerprinting, background checks and CPR/First Aid certification for every coach.
1:14 target ratio
Small groups, grouped by age, so kids are coached instead of just supervised.
Built around your bell
Scheduled around your building and the Missouri-side district calendars.
One point of contact
A local lead your principal can actually call — no ticket queue.
Vetted by the people who know what to look for.

We build the program
We plan the schedule, staff it and send you ready-to-share family flyers.
Kids show up. We handle the rest.
Registration, payments, waivers, coaching and parent questions — all on us.
A summer full of adventure.

Two ways this goes.
Without a partner
- Families keep asking and the answer stays "not this year"
- Staff stretched thin covering extra duties
- Empty gym after the bell
- Front office stuck handling sign-ups and money
With The Recreation Academy
- A program families brag about to other families
- Zero added work or cost for your staff
- Vetted coaches running a real curriculum
- A partner your principal can call directly
