🏕️ Mary Esther UMC Summer Camps
- Half-day sessions (9 AM-12 PM)
- Weekly drop-in option
- Sibling discount
- Ages 1-7
Mary Esther United Methodist Church is running their annual summer camps for children ages 1-7, June 8 through July 24. These are short, half-day sessions (9 AM - 12 PM) so you don't have to worry about full-day coverage.
Weekly themes: - June 8-12: Safari Week - June 15-19: Science Week - June 22-26: Water Week - July 6-10: Barn Friends Week - July 13-17: Gardens and Bugs Week - July 20-24: Outerspace Week
Cost: $350 for the full summer, $130 per weekly drop-in, plus a $50 registration fee. They offer a sibling discount—first child pays full price, each additional child gets 10% off (registration fee not discounted).
Why I like this: If you have little ones and need flexible coverage, the drop-in option is a lifesaver. You can commit week-by-week based on your schedule. The church is at 702 N Cusick St in Maryville, right near the library and courthouse square.
Pro tip: The weekly rate means you can try one week before committing to the full program. Perfect for seeing if your kid clicks with the vibe.
