Summer Camps for Toddlers + Preschool Age Kids (5 & Under)
We are here to help you locate summer camps for those hard-to-find age groups, including teenagers and PRESCHOOLERS! It seems there are plenty of camps for elementary-age kids, but we’ve also tracked down local camps for ages 5 & under.
{Side note – this is how Lakeland Mom got started – I was searching for summer camps when my kids were 4 & 6 and had a hard time finding anything for the younger one, so I decided I’d make a website where I could list summer camps!}
If you’re looking for a toddler summer camp in the Lakeland or Winter Haven area for your son or daughter that is preschool age or younger, this list is for you. There is no set theme for these camps, other than the ages they cover from infant through entering kindergarten.
For a complete list of summer camps in Lakeland, Polk County, and Central Florida, check out our full Summer Camp Guide.

The Learning Resource Center’s successful summer program prepares rising and repeating kindergartners for academic success at several Polk County sites. Through hands-on, experiential learning centers, students experience learning that is FUN! With art, music and movement, cooking, and reading readiness centers, Camp READY! builds pre-reading skills while also providing a safety net to allow children more time to continue motor, social and cognitive development. On average, LRC’s Camp READY! students demonstrate growth of four to seven months from pre- to post-assessment.
To register, please call LRC at 863-688-9477 or email GraceV@LRCPolk.com
