The Summer 2026 Fun Will Be Here Before We Know It!

July 6 through August 7, 2026

Please note, there will be no camp on Thursday, July 16th, and Friday, July 17th, so be sure to mark those dates on your calendar.

This program is FREE for Salem area students!

This FIVE-week program will run from Monday, July 6th- Friday, August 7th 2026 from 9:00am- 2:30pm for Salem area children.

Get ready for a summer full of adventure, connection, and community as we celebrate 20 years of Lunch, Learn + Play at the Historic Salem Courthouse Community Center! 🌞

Based on the Courthouse Campus and operating mainly out of the Carriage Barn, LL+P provides a safe, engaging, and joy-filled summer experience for Salem area children. We proudly follow all New York State summer camp safety guidelines and are committed to ensuring that all of our campers have the opportunity to learn, explore, and have fun—surrounded by both familiar faces and new friends.

Each day includes a nutritious lunch and two snacks, mostly sourced locally, keeping campers energized for full days of outdoor play, hands-on learning, and creative exploration. Campers enjoy fun field trips to Salem Art Works, Bancroft Public Library, local farms, American Museum of Fly Fishing, and more, along with special activities led by community partners. We’re also excited to partner with Hebron Camp to offer free swim lessons this summer—limited spots available, with more information coming soon! 🌊

As we look ahead, we remain deeply grateful to the volunteers, families, and community members who have supported this program over the past two decades. Together, we are dedicated to continue creating summers where children feel safe, valued, inspired, and ready to thrive—one unforgettable season at a time. 🌿✨
