Frequently asked

What summer camps are near me in Nashville?

This page pulls together day camps and overnight (residential) camps serving families in and around Nashville, including sports, STEM, arts, nature and traditional camps.

Day camp or overnight camp?

Day camps run weekday hours and are usually booked by the week; residential camps are multi-night sessions with lodging and meals included. Both are listed here — overnight camps appear year-round because registration opens months ahead.

When should I register?

Popular sessions fill between January and March, but many camps keep spots open into late spring. Each listing links straight to the camp's own registration page.

Run a program for kids in Nashville?

Listing is free, and parents in this metro are searching every week.
