What Makes Us Different
Our summer camp in Wilmington, North Carolina is GIGGLES ON THE GO!! We offer a full 8-hour summer camp for kids 5 years old through 5th grade. **Please note your child must be 5 years old by June 8, 2026**
Back in 2026!! We are offering a full day preschool summer camp for kids under 5. Please click here to find out more about our Preschool Summer Camp.
Our camp is different from most of the summer camps in Wilmington for several reasons.
- We go on a field trip every day with LOTS of fun activities!
- We have a very low teacher to child ratio 1:13 maximum (it’s usually much lower). Your child will get the personal attention they deserve.
- ALL of our snacks, lunches, and activities are included in our low prices. That means you don’t ever have to worry about
- Paying anything extra
- Packing food or a water bottle
- Or even washing your child’s camp shirt
We Take Care of it All!
How it works
- Kids attending summer camp in Wilmington, North Carolina are dropped off at our center any time between 7:45 and 9:30 AM. We load up each morning at 9:30 for our daily field trips. We are generally gone from the center from around 9:30 AM until 2:00 or 3:00 PM each day. We return for some free play in the afternoon. Your child should be picked up 8 hours after they were dropped off in the morning. We do offer flexibility if you need extra time, just ask for details.
- Lunches and activities are all included in our low prices. Each week of summer camp has a different theme which is listed below.
- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are water days. Your children should arrive wearing their swimwear and sunscreen and bring a change of clothing and a towel packed in a bag.
- Each week includes a trip to Flip-n-Fly, the beach and Jungle Rapids waterpark!
- **Please note if you have a child with special needs, please call us before purchasing. 910-799-3700. It essential for the safety of all involved that all children are able to follow directions and work well in a group setting.
We also offer lots of fun special activities in the center for all kids every Tuesday and Thursday for Summertime fun!! Click here to see our list of activities for 2026.
