2025 Themes
Rumpus in the Rainforest
June 2-6 (Week 1)
Campers will swing into the jungle this week and become wild animals! They will make rain sticks and cloud jars and learn how to move to the beat of their own drum. They will walk on the wild side in the first Show & Share of the summer.
This week is SOLD OUT. Join the Waitlist.
Magical Mysteries
June 9-13 (Week 2)
Abracadabra! Magic wands at the ready! Students will enchant you with their magical imaginations, design magic wands, solve mystical puzzles, mix potions, and put a spell on you with their sensational dance moves. Experience the most magical Show & Share to date!
Storytellers
June 16-20 (Week 3)
Once upon a time, there was a summer camp full of children who battled evil, embarked on unforgettable adventures, and taught monsters manners—all through the power of storytelling! The sky was the limit when they engaged their imaginations and shared their original tales for the Friday afternoon Show & Share.
Cryptid Camp
June 23-27 (Week 4)
Big Foot, Loch Ness monster, and El Chupacabra, oh my! Whether they exist or not, campers will study the myths of these wild, mystical beasts. As young cryptozoologists, they will create sock-ness monster puppets, learn puppeteering skills, discover a new mythical beast, or even become one themselves for this week’s Show & Share.
Wet, Wild, and Wacky
June 30 – July 2 (Week 5)
Get ready… get set… for the 5th Annual Carrollwood Cultural Center Camp Water Games! Campers attend a fun-filled three days of wet, wild, and wacky water activities. Each day will include games, storytelling, art, and more, culminating with our major water activities on Wednesday, July 2. (There will be no camp on July 3 and 4 and no Show & Share this week.)

Blast from the Past
July 7-11 (Week 6)
Travel back to the future! Campers will visit different eras throughout the week, dance the twist or the Charleston, and make their own Warhol. They will study famous inventions and influential music—maybe even time travel themselves! It’s sure to be a wild ride back in time for the Friday afternoon Show & Share.
Carnival Craze
July 14-18 (Week 7)
Step right up and join the Carrollwood Cultural Center Camp Circus as campers captivate the masses with tumbling tricks, tight rope walks, and illusions! Campers will learn circus arts, make art inspired by the big top, and play classic carnival games. You won’t believe your eyes at the greatest Show & Share on Earth!
Superheroes
July 21-25 (Week 8)
With great power comes great responsibility. Campers discover their inner superpowers, hone their super abilities, dodge intense obstacles, and draw their own hero comic! The heroes write their stories and show it all off in a supercharged Show & Share.
SUPERHERO WEEK IS SPONSORED IN LOVING MEMORY OF A TRUE HERO,
