Welcome to Summer Encounters!

As the Director of Auxiliary Programs, it is my privilege and pleasure to welcome you to CCES Summer Encounters Camps 2025! Summer Encounters is a day camp program in Greenville, SC with a comprehensive and exciting collection of summer camp options that provide meaningful opportunities for every camper in (rising) grades K4 to 12. With a variety of day camp activities, extended stay options, and schedules offered, it’s easier than ever to LEAVE THE SUMMER TO US! 

This year, our greatest desire is to continue bringing you quality, enriching, and awesome camps for your children. You and your child will be able to choose from 250 camps, including new additions like Country Line Dancing, Beginner Golf, Recycled Arts and Crafts and Storytelling, as well as classic Summer Encounter favorites such as Art in the Great Outdoors, Cheerleading, Pickleball, and Celebrity Portraits. 

Our team is busy working hard resourcing our Summer Encounters Teachers and training over 60 high school and college counselors to ensure the summer of 2025 is our best Summer Encounters yet! If you have any questions about content, assistance with registration, or inquire about the best summer camp selections for your family, we invite you to contact our team at summer@cces.org.

My family is new to Greenville and loving all the area has to offer!
