All Lagos. All Summer.

One City, a Million Summer Memories.

Every summer, the same question arises for parents across Lagos: What do I do with the kids for eight weeks?

The school gates may be closed, but a world of learning, play, and discovery is just opening up. At Caring Blocks, we know that summer isn’t just time off—it’s a powerful opportunity for children to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build lasting friendships.

This year, we’ve curated a trusted Lagos Summer Camp Guide for children aged 3 to 12, including day camps and sleepaway programs across STEM, sports, arts, and general enrichment. We also spotlight childcare centers and afterschool programs offering summer experiences for little ones.

Summer camps offer more than just childcare—they provide structure, connection, confidence, and creativity. A good camp can unlock your child’s potential in coding, sports, music, or public speaking,while giving you the assurance that they are cared for in a safe and engaging space.

Day Camps

Day camps are popular in Lagos – parents drop off in the morning and pick up by late afternoon. They offer structured fun and learning without overnight stay, ideal for working families who prefer to keep kids nearby. We group day camps by their focus and location.

Sport Camps

For active kids, these camps emphasize sports, outdoor play, and physical skills – from multi-sport camps to specialized football academies, campers rotate through daily skill sessions individually and in groups. Lagos state and private groups run several.

International

International summer camps offer a variety of programs for children and teenagers, focusing on cultural exchange, language learning, adventure, and personal development, often in locations around the world. These camps provide opportunities to develop social skills, foster independence, and create lasting friendships in a global setting.

Creative Arts

For the budding artists, actors, or musicians, these camps focus on visual arts, performing arts, and creative skills. Children are encouraged to independently explore art media, build confidence in their creativity, and stretch their imaginations

Faith-Based

In addition to secular programs, Lagos has numerous religious summer camps – usually day programs often called Vacation Bible School (VBS) in churches, or Qur’anic vacation lessons in mosques. These nurture spiritual growth alongside fun activities

❊ Testimonials

Loved by Campers, Trusted by Parents.

Seriously! But don’t take our word for it, here are some things people have to say about us.

We can’t say enough good things about this camp. Our daughter went from being nervous about spending a week away from home to begging us to sign her up for the longer session next summer! She came home so much more confident, more independent, and totally in love with every sport she tried.


Ayomide M., Parent

Sending our child to sleepaway camp for the first time was a big step, but we knew right away they were in great hands. The coaches and staff created such a welcoming, safe space. Our son felt supported, included, and had an absolute blast every single day.


Omolade., Parent

“This camp was exactly what our daughter needed. She came home more confident, independent, and excited to take on new challenges. It wasn’t just about sports—it was about believing in herself. We’re so thankful for the amazing role models she found there."

Adedayo, Parent
