Summer Camps in Nolensville, TN: 40+ Programs (2026 Guide)

Nolensville has quietly become one of the best-served zip codes in the greater Nashville area for summer camps. Williamson County Parks runs close to 40 distinct programs out of the Nolensville Recreation Complex — STEM, arts, dance, theater, LEGO, and more — all within a few miles of what is now the fastest-growing city in Tennessee. If you’re a Nolensville family trying to figure out summer, the challenge isn’t finding options: it’s choosing between them. This guide covers every program at the Rec Complex plus the best alternatives nearby, with prices, ages, and what makes each one worth picking.

STEM and Engineering Camps at Nolensville Rec (2026)

**Robotics 101 STEM** | Ages 7–12 · $250 · June 1–5. The entry-level robotics pick — students design, program, and control LEGO EV3 robots while applying real engineering and math concepts. Best for kids who love to take things apart and figure out how they work.

**Engineering for Kids Olympics** | Ages 8–13 · $250 · July 27–31. STEM challenges framed as athletic-team competitions. **World Games Engineering** (same week, same format) is a direct alternative if one fills — you can’t stack both.

LEGO Camps at Nolensville Rec (2026)

Nolensville Rec runs four separate LEGO programs — an unusually deep lineup for a single facility. These fill fast.

**Lego Connect** | Ages 5–7 · $205 · June 15–18. The youngest-friendly entry point, focused on collaborative builds and confidence. Right pick for a first-timer.

**Lego Imagination Station** | Ages 7–13 · $235 · Three sessions: Jun 1–5, Jun 29–Jul 3, Jul 20–24. The mainstream pick for elementary schoolers. **Lego Builders Academy** (same price, same age range, Jun 22–26) runs separately — useful if one session is full.

**Brick Masters Lego Camp** | Ages 7–13 · $235 + $10 supply fee · July 20–24. The most advanced of the four — engineering-focused builds, daily prizes, competitive edge. Worth the extra $10.

Arts and Creative Camps at Nolensville Rec (2026)

**Bob Ross for Kids Acrylic Art Camp** | Ages 7–11 · $150 · Two sessions: Jun 8–12 and Jun 22–26. Consistently one of the first programs to fill. The Bob Ross format makes painting feel approachable for kids who think they can’t draw.

**Imagination Station Summer Art Camp** | Ages 6–12 · $150 · Three sessions: Jun 1–5, Jun 29–Jul 3, Jul 20–23. Open-ended mixed-media projects — the most general creative option for younger kids, with the most scheduling flexibility of any program here.

**DIY Woodworking Art Camp** | Ages 9–14 · $150 · July 27–30. The standout for kids who want to make something tangible. Actual woodworking projects they take home — not just glue and glitter.

Dance and Theater at Nolensville Rec (2026)

Three dance programs run at Nolensville Rec, all for ages 5–9 at $180 each, Monday–Thursday mornings.

**We’ve Got Spirit Dance Camp** | Ages 5–9 · $180 · June 8–11. Hip-hop and cheer pom-style dance.

**Once Upon a Dance Camp** | Ages 5–9 · $180 · July 27–30. Ballet-based fairytale week ending with a tea party reception for families.

For performance rather than movement: **STAR Camp Broadway** | Ages 8–14 · $225 + $15 supply fee · June 22–26. Singing, acting, and theater games — culminates in a Friday afternoon revue.

Little Kids Programs at Nolensville Rec (Ages 4–7, 2026)

**Little Stars Wonderland Camp** | Ages 4–7 · $150 + $10 supply fee · June 22–26. The gentlest entry point at Nolensville Rec — designed for kids who haven’t done structured camp before.

**Lego Connect** is the pick for ages 5–7 who want build challenges. All three dance camps start at age 5, as does **Princess Academy** (Ages 5–8 · $150 + $30 supply fee · Jul 6–10), which leans into imaginative play.

Beyond the Rec Complex: Children’s Art Classes Nolensville

**Children’s Art Classes Nolensville** (7149 Nolensville Rd, ages 3–18) runs standalone five-day summer workshops in drawing, painting, and pottery on a budget-friendly pricing model with payment plans. Nationally franchised but locally run — a smaller, quieter setting than the Rec Complex if that suits your kid better. Call (615) 975-3677 or visit tn-nolensville.childrensartclasses.com for current 2026 session pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I register for Williamson County Parks summer camps in Nolensville?

Registration for 2026 is open now through the Williamson County Parks online portal at wcparksandrec.com. The Nolensville Recreation Complex programs are part of the same system as Franklin, Spring Hill, and other county locations — use the location filter to narrow to Nolensville-only programs.

How quickly do Nolensville summer camp spots fill up?

Fast. The most popular programs — Bob Ross, STAR Camp Broadway, and the LEGO camps — often sell out within the first few days of registration opening in March. Late-July sessions typically have more availability than early-summer weeks. If you miss out, check for cancellations in the weeks leading up to the session.

Are there summer camp options for very young kids in Nolensville (under age 6)?

Yes. Little Stars Wonderland Camp accepts kids ages 4–7 and is designed to be a gentle first camp experience. Lego Connect is built for ages 5–7. All three dance camps start at age 5. Princess Academy also accepts kids starting at 5. For children under 4, most WC Parks programs aren’t a fit, but Overbrook Catholic School in nearby Brentwood runs preschool-age camp programs starting at age 3.

How does Nolensville compare to Franklin or Brentwood for summer camps?

Nolensville’s camp options are almost entirely WC Parks programs — a deep, well-priced lineup ($150–$250 for the week) concentrated at one facility. Franklin and Brentwood have more provider variety: private school programs, specialty studios, and a wider range.
