Highlander Summer is open to children ages 4 through 17 throughout the Orlando community and beyond. Academic courses offered during the summer are for LHP students only.

Full-day camps operate from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Half-day camps operate from 8:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

Absolutely! All tours must be scheduled in advance Monday through Thursday between 9:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Although camps may not be in session during your tour, you can walk the campus, learn about various camps, and learn how to register.

Highlander Summer offers a large variety of weekly camps, which include half-day sports camps, full-day specialty-themed camps, and a traditional day camp. 

All Highlander Summer camps are based on a camper's rising grade level. Campers registered in a program for a specific grade level will be in the same group. Campers registered for a program with multiple grade levels may be divided into smaller sub-groups based on rising grade levels, if necessary.

We do not guarantee campers from different grade levels will be in the same sub-group, as sub-groups are often determined by enrollment.

Attire must be tasteful and appropriate. We recommend campers wear breathable shorts and T-shirts, as they will be outside at some point during the day. All campers are required to wear closed-toe or athletic shoes every day. Campers are allowed to bring sandals or flip-flops to change into while walking to and from the pool.

Lake Highland Preparatory School students attending camp do not have to wear their school uniform.

Campers are encouraged to wear their Highlander Summer T-shirts on Fridays for Spirit Day.

Parents will receive a welcome email prior to the beginning of each camp week. This email will link them to the Family Resource Drive, which will list the items needed for specific camps. In general, campers may want to bring a snack or two and a water bottle along with a swimsuit, towel, goggles, and sunscreen. We recommend leaving any valuable items at home.

PreK-6th Grade

Cell phones and smartwatches are not permitted at Highlander Summer. Cell phones brought to camp will be held in the camp office and released to a parent at the end of the day.

7th-12th Grade

Cell phones must be silenced and secured in backpacks from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., unless approved by school administration for documented medical purposes.

Bluetooth and other wireless connections to personal cell phones must be disabled during the camp/summer school day. This includes disconnecting from smartwatches, earbuds, and other wireless accessories.

All campers have the choice of bringing a daily lunch from home or purchasing a weekly cafeteria lunch package.

Our cafeteria typically offers an assortment of daily food choices, such as chicken, pizza, macaroni and cheese, burgers, quesadillas, pasta, veggies, rice, beans, and more. In addition to our hot lunch options, there is a soup and salad bar, fresh fruit, snacks, and various drinks.

Although some individual camps may purchase snacks for a special occasion, all campers are encouraged to bring a healthy snack or two from home and a water bottle daily. Contactless water fountains are stationed around campus and are available to refill water bottles throughout the day.

Highlander Summer accepts credit and debit cards. We do not accept student billing through Lake Highland Preparatory School’s FACTS system.

Summer camp registration is completed through CampBrain. If you do not already have an account, simply create one using your email and follow the directions on each page.

We highly suggest creating an account before registration opens, as many of our camps sell out quickly.

Families have three options to pay via credit and debit card:

1. Pay in full at the time of registration
2. Pay only the deposit(s) at the time of registration, and pay the remaining balance in full in mid-May
3. Pay only the deposit(s) at the time of registration, and split the remaining balance into two installment payments due in April and May

If there is a need to switch programs, parents must email summer@lhprep.org or call the Auxiliary Office at 407-206-1900 x1176. All monies will be transferred to the new program selection, and your account will be adjusted accordingly in conjunction with our refund policy.

You can view Highlander Summer's refund policy on the Registration page.

If your child is on a waitlist and a spot becomes available at any point prior to the start of the program, the Auxiliary Office will contact families in waitlist order. Families will have the opportunity to accept or decline the available opening.

We have at least one registered nurse on staff daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

If you or your child’s physician decide it is necessary for your child to receive medication during the camp day, including self-administered medication, a medication administration authorization form must be on file in the clinic (this includes medications for all campers).

If your child attends a camp program that utilizes the pool (kindergarten through 6th grade) and is a non-swimmer, they may bring an alternative activity to do while sitting in the shade on the bleachers with a staff member.

Highlander Summer does not offer swim lessons as part of the camp day. If you are interested in signing your child up for swim lessons, please visit the Highlander Aquatics website or call at 407-206-1900 ext. 1182.

LHP’s campuses are equipped with a lightning prediction and weather warning system for heat and high winds, which is closely monitored by security personnel. If lightning or high winds are detected close to campus, all campers and staff will be sent indoors for safety. If a heat advisory is issued, campers and staff will modify their time spent outdoors.

Highlander Summer does not provide transportation to and from camp each day. However, we provide a shuttle bus between the two campuses for students participating in Extended Day and sports camps, as needed.

Shuttle transportation is provided between the Bradshaw Campus (main campus), the Charles Clayton Campus, and the Lake Highland Athletic Complex (LHAC) for campers attending Extended Day in the morning or afternoon. Shuttles are also provided to campers attending half-day sports camps transitioning into Day Camp.
