An amazing experience your child will never forget!
Shine Day Camp is a summer experience for kids entering 1st-7th grade in the fall! Each week, kids will experience tons of high-energy large group and cooperative games, creative crafts, interactive technology, and engaging elective classes.

Fun gets crazy at Ultimate Tuesday events such as Color Wars, Wet N’ Wild water day, and The Amazing Race. Each week we will bring a fun and exciting field trip to camp!

Parents

Life doesn’t stop for you in the summer…and that’s where we come in.

Shine Day Camp strives to provide the highest quality & safest summer child care in the metro Detroit area. Housed on the beautiful campus of Ward Church in Northville, Michigan, Shine is a fully licensed day camp through the state of Michigan Licensing and Regulatory Affairs division and has been creating summer experiences for kids for more than 25 years.

With care for each camper, your child will get the attention that they deserve.

Shine Day Camp is designed to fit your schedule. Got a doctors appointment? Attending another half-day camp? Want to sleep in? No problem, you can pick up and drop off your kids whenever you would like from 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday.

Parents, don’t worry about packing a snack in case your kids get hungry throughout the day. At Shine we provide a morning and afternoon snack for everyone, everyday.

Who says you can’t have fun and learn at the same time? Each week at Shine your child will get to choose one of our engaging elective classes. Past electives include: Art explosion, cartoon drawing, Pom Pon, STOMP, Culture Exploration, Unicycling, Lacrosse, Fun with Foods, Book Club, Tech Madness, Photography, Gymnastics and many more!

Headquarters

It’s easy to forget about school during the summer, but at Shine we are passionate about making sure your child is ready for the fall. From fun math and science to educational games and interactive technology, your child’s brain will stay engaged all summer.

Activity Stations

Summers weren’t meant to be experienced from inside a building. Favorite stations from last year include gaga ball, tetherball, volleyball, nine square in the air, and can jam.

Education

Every Friday afternoon we pop popcorn and we wind down the week by watching a movie together. Campers get to spend rings that they have earned throughout the week at our Fun Friday Store that is full of great prizes!

Experience Partners

Mathnasium

Want to keep your child active in math this Summer? We are excited to partner with Mathnasium, in Northville, to provide an exclusive math mind workout program for day campers this summer! This special program will concentrate on introducing and practicing concepts that will be covered in the upcoming school year. Sessions for this program occur Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at Shine Day Camp and the cost is $80 a week.
