It’s 9 am and Si-La-Meo campers gather in the opening circle to welcome each other into another action packed day of fun, friendship and activities. The campus of Alaska Pacific University provides the perfect environment for campers to experience nature and participate in outdoor activities in a convenient, urban location. From pre-school to middle school, Camp Si-La-Meo has a wide variety of exciting programs that allow children to discover new interests as well as to practice favorites, all under the guidance of caring, trained adult staff.

Whether campers attend one session or all, each week will be new and challenging. Counselors will help campers set goals at camp activities such as archery and swimming, and track camper’s progress. Weekly program themes and special guests will make each session unique and fun. Campers and counselors work together to plan small group activities and special events, giving campers the opportunity to practice group decision making and planning.

Read the Session Descriptions to learn more about each program at camp as well as date and fee information. The Parent Guide will help you and your child prepare for camp and provides more specific information about camp policies and procedures. When you are ready to register, you may do so online or stop by our office at 161 Klevin Street (Map) in Anchorage, and we will be happy to assist you in person.

Camp Si La Meo sessions run Monday through Friday from 9 am to 4 pm. Before and after camp care is available for all sessions. If you have any questions about the camp program, please contact the Camping Program Director Theresa Serr-Burek. I am always happy to talk about camp!

The ponies and petting farm are back! Party Ponies and Friends will be back this summer to provide all Caterpillar and Trail Starter campers with a pony ride and a petting farm experience. The ponies, chicks, lambs and other fuzzy friends come to us every Wednesday afternoon, weather permitting, on the Soccer field at APU.
