2026 CAMP EDITION
Editor's Note
If you’ve got twelve camp tabs open, a color-coded calendar, and kids with very strong summer opinions — you’re not alone.
Planning summer camp can quickly feel overwhelming. Between different ages, interests, budgets, vacations, and work schedules, it’s a lot to manage.
That’s why we created the LittleGuide Detroit Camp Magazine to put everything you need in one easy place. You’ll find camps organized by city and specialty, clear age ranges, pricing details, and options for every kind of kid. We’ve even included printable planning sheets to help you map it all out.
Less stress. More excitement for the summer ahead.

THE HENRY FORD CAMPS INNOVATION,
COMMUNITY, AND LASTING MEMORIES THE HENRY FORD CAMPS INNOVATION, COMMUNITY, AND LASTING MEMORIES
Last summer, The Henry Ford Summer Camp welcomed 453 campers, continuing its reputation as one of Metro Detroit’s most immersive summer programs for kids entering grades 2–7.
The Monday–Friday day camp runs five oneweek sessions and brings learning to life through hands-on experiences and exclusive access to The Henry Ford’s world-class venues and collections.
The program is built around three core principles—learning through perspective, realworld application and equitable access and explores history, innovation, art, science and nature in engaging ways.
Each grade level features themed programming, from “Superheroes” for rising second graders to transportation, outdoor exploration, food and cooking, STEM and art camps for older students.
Through a partnership with Detroit-based Community Outreach Partners, scholarships were provided for 38 campers.
Registration for the 2026 season opens March 4 for members and March 11 for the public.
