Virtual Summer Camp: Experience Camp W*K from Home

Virtual summer camp with Camp Wingate * Kirkland brings the joy, laughter, and connection of our in-person camp straight into your home! On Thursday, March 19th, 2020,we’re inviting campers and families to enjoy a full day of engaging virtual activities. From energetic games to creative sessions, this online experience is designed to keep the Camp W*K spirit alive, no matter where you are.

We know how important community, connection, and play are especially during uncertain times. That’s why we’ve planned an exciting lineup that captures the heart of Camp W*K in a virtual setting.

What to Expect from Our Virtual Summer Camp

On the day of the event, we’ll kick things off at 9:45am EDT, and the fun doesn’t stop until the last song at the virtual campfire. You’ll move, laugh, dance, and connect with other campers in real time!

Here’s a taste of what you’ll experience:

  • Angry Yoga – A hilarious twist on relaxation

  • TikTok Dancing – Show off your moves and learn new ones

  • Swim Group – No pool? No problem. Join us for fun water-themed games

Why a Virtual Summer Camp?

Virtual summer camps are more than just screen time—they’re a bridge to belonging, creativity, and routine. With schools and activities shifting online, we wanted to create something meaningful that offers:

  • A familiar structure during uncertain days

  • A joyful outlet for kids to connect and play

  • The magic of camp traditions even without cabins or campfires

At Camp WK, we believe summer should always start with connection and joy. Whether it’s in person or online, the Camp WK spirit shines through.
