Summer Camp 2025
Sessions + dates:
PLEASE NOTE: Two-week sessions require that you enroll your child in both weeks of the camp! Thank you!
OPERATION: Microminiaturization! June 2 - 6
spilled milk is starting off SMALL this summer! We’re still thinking big, but we’re creating small... things! It’s gonna be MINI-MADNESS (<-Any quantum mechanics experts out there? JK- that’d be a little too small) In this session, our campers will make a variety of MICRO crafts, like fairy houses, tiny cars… even a teeny-tiny zoo! Oh yeah- and our staff may need to enlist the help of all the kiddos: some of our personal belongings have shrunk and we need help finding them… it’s always the LITTLE things, right?
OPERATION: Rock-n-Roll Nation! TWO WEEKS: June 9-13 and June 16-20
If Austin is the “live music capital of the world”, then spilled milk is the “childcare music capital of the world” (<-We can just claim that title ourselves, right?). All labels aside, this session is going to FLIPPIN’ ROCK. Our campers will form bands and work with each other (and our talented grown-up songwriters) to create and record original songs! When we’re not in the studio, we will work on making band shirts and other cool merch, and everyone will have the chance to strut the runway in our annual “Rockstar Fashion Show”. At the end of the two weeks, we will host a Listening Party (Friday, June 20th) where all groups will debut their original songs for families to hear! (Now go look up “spilled milk social club” on Spotify and listen to all the songs we’ve written and recorded through the years. You’ll thank us later.)
OPERATION: Investigation! (WILD WEST Edition): June 23-27
(Please read the following in your best country accent) Yeehawww! Dust off yer hats and giddy up, cowpokes! This week, our campers will have to train to be the best bounty huntin’ mystery solvers this side of the Appalachia. Campers will work together to unravel a rootin’-tootin’ mystery, solve riddles, puzzles and scavenger hunts, and maybe even become best friends with a horse- WHO KNOWS?! Bring your toughest cowboy boots and get ready to solve every mystery under the sun!
*SPILLED MILK IS CLOSED June 30 - July 4
OPERATION: Determination! TWO WEEK SESSION July 7-11 & July 14-18
It’s the 12th Annual spilled milk Olympics! For these 2 weeks, the Gallons and Quarts will be grouped into teams representing a country of their choosing. Each country will compete in a number of olympic events ranging from the usual (relay races, tug-o-war, etc …) to the UNusual (Fear Factor Food Challenge, Hanging Donut, and more!)
As “hosts” of our Olympics, the Pints and Cups will imagine and create two brand new countries. They’ll host a snack “cafe” with special treats from their country to share with all the Gallons teams, and they’ll also compete in some informal “mini-Olympic” competitions. Let the games begin!
OPERATION: Salivation! July 21-25
Gosh, my mouth is already watering! This delicious session of camp will include fun with food, hands-on experience with from-scratch recipes, AND even some goodies to take home for sharing. At the end of the week all of our culinary work will come to fruition: For the first time in spilled milk history, we will invite our families to Milky’s Café, where we will serve a four-course meal made and served by the campers! (We take playing “Restaurant” very seriously around here, and we feel confident you’ll give us a good review afterward. Fingers crossed for a Michelin star!!)
OPERATION: Fabrication! July 28- August 1
If we can think it, we can build it… or at least we will try and find out! With glue on our fingers and tape from here to eternity, this week of fun will put our creativity and ingenuity to the test! The Gallons and Quarts will create and construct a cardboard arcade FROM SCRATCH that will rock your socks off and have you spending ALL YOUR TOKENS (Mommmmm, can we get some more tokens??) At the same time, the Pints and Cups will fabricate an entire market for their goods and services, appropriately dubbed “SMALL MALL”. This adorable session is a staff- and kid-favorite. We can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with this year!
OPERATION: Hydration! August 4-8
Holy Toledo- it’s hot here in Texas! If only there was a summer camp where my child was guaranteed to have fun with water the whole week– Well, SLATHER ON THAT SUNSCREEN, ‘CAUSE YOU’RE IN LUCK! spilled milk is bringing back the most refreshing, wet-n-wild and potable session you’ve heard of, OPERATION: Hydration! During this session, all activities will involve water: We’ll visit local pools and splash pads, have epic water balloon battles, enjoy fresh lemonade and popsicles AND MORE! Moist people love this session, but if you don’t believe us just come and sea (okay, my play on words is getting out of hand here so I’m gonna stop!)
OPERATION: Relaxation! August 11-15
Summer’s almost over but it's still very hot and we all need a breather, don’t you agree? This week, we’ll pamper ourselves and RELAX! We’ll kick our feet up and watch our favorite movie, get our hair and nails done, drink a mocktail by the pool, have someone feed us grapes, put cucumbers on our eyes, meditate, tell the secretary to hold all our calls, dahling because we simply CAHN’T do any more work this summah and did I just develop an English accent? Carry on… Indulge with us before the hustle and bustle of school starts again, and make the last week of summer 2025 count!
