St. Charles Community College invites parents and kids to attend the 2026 Summer Camp Celebration, a free, family-friendly event designed to help families plan an exciting summer
The Summer Camp Celebration camp expo is set for Saturday, February 21, 2026, from 12 –3 p.m. at the SCC Recreation Center in Cottleville. Parents can explore a wide variety of summer camps and youth programs—all in one place. Meet camp staff, ask questions, and discover opportunities in arts, sports, education, enrichment, and more.
This fun and interactive event makes it easy for families to compare programs, learn about new options, and find the perfect fit for every child’s interests. Kids can enjoy engaging activities (cookie decorating, balloon animals, face painting, drone flying, coloring & crafting, LEGO Robotics) while parents gather information and get inspired for the months ahead.
Admission is free. The Summer Camp Celebration is open to all.
