Headfirst Summer Camps

Summer 2026 enrollment is open for Headfirst Summer Camps — right here at Flint Hill! We’re excited to return for our 11th summer on campus and to celebrate 30 years serving DMV families. Camps for PK3–7th graders include Arts &amp; Crafts, STEM, and Multi-Sport, plus official Washington Nationals Baseball &amp; Softball and D.C. United Soccer Camps. Everything we do is intentionally designed – from how campers are grouped to how progress is recognized – so Flint Hill families can trust the experience and kids can grow with confidence.
