Explore St. Louis Summer Camp
2022 CAMP INFORMATION
Explore St. Louis Summer Camp (ESSC) mission is to provide campers the opportunity to explore St. Louis through different events, programs, exhibits, and field trips outside of their neighborhood.
The 2022 ESSC was a huge success. We want to thank our many Community Partners that provide programming, events, activities, STEM, and fun to our campers. ESSC applications will open up on May 1, 2023, and camp will run from June 5, 2023, to July 28, 2023. We can't wait to see your campers next summer!

ESSC provides underserved campers the opportunity to explore St. Louis through different attractions, shows, exhibits, programs, activities, community events, and other places outside of their neighborhoods. We are excited to provide underserved campers with tutoring/mentoring, Arts & Crafts, S.T.E.M. activities, financial literacy, DIY projects, computer enhancement skills, nutritional and health education, painting, cooking classes, swimming, and of course tutoring. Breakfast and lunches are provided, so there's no need to pack a lunch.
For the 2023 summer, we are excited to bring this program to your children. For more information, please check back at a later date. We also have our camp information on BluePrint4Summer.
ESSC also partners with the Summer Youth Employment Program that employs youth. This program is to support the youth in both St. Louis County and St. Louis City. For students wanting employment, please sign up early to secure your spot for employment. Click for both St. Louis County/City
