Kidcam Summer Camp | Summer 2026 | Pelham, Alabama
Imagine the kind of summer you remember from childhood—the kind filled with muddy sneakers, lake days that stretch forever, new best friends, and stories that get better every time they’re told. That’s exactly the kind of summer waiting for your child at Kidcam Camps at Oak Mountain State Park.
Tucked inside one of Alabama’s most beautiful and expansive state parks, Kidcam at Oak Mountain blends everything families love about Kidcam with the unmatched outdoor adventure of this special location. It’s a place where summer feels big, exciting, and refreshingly simple—for kids and parents.

Each morning, campers ages 5–13 arrive ready for another day of discovery. Maybe today starts with laughter during group games, followed by a hands-on STEM challenge where campers build, experiment, and problem-solve together. Later, creativity takes over as campers dive into arts and crafts, proudly creating projects that capture the spirit of their week’s theme.
And then—because it’s Oak Mountain—summer turns into an adventure you just can’t recreate anywhere else. Campers cool off with water play and lake swimming, splashing and swimming under the Alabama sun. On other days, excitement builds for trips to Flip Side Aqua Park, where big smiles and even bigger splashes are guaranteed.
Nature becomes the classroom here. Campers visit the Oak Mountain Wildlife Center, where curiosity grows as they learn about local animals and conservation. They try their hand at the archery range, explore wide open green spaces perfect for classic camp games, and even enjoy fishing and outdoor exploration that encourages confidence and independence.
Throughout the week, Kidcam weaves in meaningful life skills—teamwork, communication, leadership, and resilience—without it ever feeling like a lesson. It’s all part of the magic of camp. Add in sports, movement, and plenty of space to run and play, and every day feels perfectly full.

As the week winds down, camp spirit shines. Talent shows fill the air with applause, counselor competitions spark laughter, and special performances bring everyone together. These are the moments kids talk about on the ride home—the ones that make them excited to come back next week.
For parents, Kidcam keeps summer refreshingly stress-free. Families can choose only the weeks they need, pay as they go, and add options like Extended Hours, Lunch, and Snacks to fit their schedule. With over 50 years of experience and American Camp Association accreditation, Kidcam offers peace of mind along with unforgettable memories.
At Kidcam Camp at Oak Mountain State Park, summer isn’t just a season—it’s a story your child gets to live. From lake days and STEM discoveries to archery, art, and outdoor adventure, Summer 2026 is ready to be filled with laughter, growth, and moments that last long after camp ends.
✨ Come build a summer your child will never forget.
