20 Best Summer Programs In Virginia Beach, VA (2022 Updated)

I AM NOT A STUDENT. IM A TOURIST I toured this beautiful school yesterday. It was absolutely beautiful. To walk around seeing so much scripture. So many things to inspire young minds and hearts to Christ. I did not get a chance to walk around the entire campus but the places I did see were amazing. My tour guide was Robert Vann. He knew a lot of history and important things about the school. He probably knew the mission statement if I asked him. He took us into the Chapel and had so many great things to say about it. He also said, the school was a safe place for Christians. The professors and staff, knew Jesus. Frfr. They encourage a relationship with Christ. He has never been around so many different ethnicities fully in worship together. It reminded him of Heaven. He saw that we are all the same. The school opened the eyes of his heart to so many different beautiful things about ALL of the people of God. I’m not gone lie, I don’t wanna say that I would ever move back to Virginia. And I do not like school. However, after seeing the school, and hearing the Words of Mr. Vann, it makes me want to consider attending Regent. Makes me actually want to consider experiencing it all myself.Tiray Randle

I could not have chosen a better university to finish my education as well continue with. My professors are very understanding and compassionate because we need that today in the world we live in. Even if you aren't a Christian the respect and just humbleness of all my professors and even peers has been extremely outstanding . I am speechless. My professors pray for me and at times that's what I needed the most. The School work had true meaning and purpose. You aren't just going to school just to go to school. All of it has meaning. I am excited to Start my PhD program and finish proudly as a regent Graduate. Trust me I did my undergrad at a major university and I was just a number and did not feel like I got as much out of as much I got out my masters. Also it's affordable!!! It's an all around win for me Love you regent universitybianca blanc

First, let me say I'm so glad I choose Regent University to study. The Professors, staff, and administration made you feel welcome. My past two years there are ones I'll cherish. The biblical principles and education I received have equipped me to go out and change the world. The Professors care about your well-being just as much as your academic development. Although the classes were online. We engaged in numerous zoom sessions and kept a level of closeness. I highly recommend Regent University to anyone seeking quality higher education. I am proud to be an alumnus of a university that takes a total interest in growing, equipping, and developing the skills of those who will Lead the world. I am a World Leader!

There is no such thing as a perfect school. Every institution has it's unique challenges. Chesapeake Bay Academy, however, is a perfect fit for my son. Small class sizes, friends that accept him for who he is and understand/share many of his learning differences, a compassionate and approachable staff, and a safe learning environment all are attributes we hoped for in a school. CBA has all of this and more. It is a warm, welcoming community for students and parents, alike. My husband and I are wholeheartedly invested in Chesapeake Bay Academy through volunteerism in the Parents' Association, the Athletics Department and the Annual Auction. Our son loves his school, his teachers, being a member of the JV and Varsity basketball teams, and the bonds he has made with classmates. We are grateful every day for Chesapeake Bay Academy.Aimee Cochran

This school caters to children with learning challenges. The school has lots of windows, athletics, and very small class sizes. This academy is the ONLY state accredited school for learning disabilities. This school is just what my family has been looking for to help my son to become an educated member of society without the teasing,chastising and bulling that has happened in the public school. I would highly recommend to any parent to take a look at what this school has to offer, you won't be dissapointed but rather feel joy that there is a school for our precious gifted children to blossom into adults and head to college.We look forward to our fourth year and school starting this fall! Thank you CBA for being there!Dawn Hoffman

Amazing! It has transformed my son and our family. The teachers and staff are an incredible team fully invested in him. They are committed to working with us to help him become confident and capable young man. They do this in a safe and nurturing environment while pushing him to meet his abilities. I wish that anyone who has a child that is bright and full of potential, yet struggles in a standard learning setting, could experience the freedom and community this school offers. Not only does the environment cater to the children, but gives the parents a much needed place to support one another.B Brinke (ProCraft Inspections)

This museum was a complete surprisingly amazing time. From the free Jerassic Park to cheap admission to events held, it's an unbelievable place. We ended up going on a whim because my fiance wanted to be a pilot and it was Women's Flight Day, my daughter got to fly for FREE and it's normally 295$. It was amazing, they had so many different planes and exhibits and extraordinary people. Recommend it for all ages, admission was cheap too, and their gift shop and cashiers were amazing and hilarious. We will def be back!!!!! Visited on

A nice museum with very helpful and knowledgeable staff and volunteers. We got to see the museum plus 4 hangars: international, navy, world war I, and German world war II. The signage could be a little clearer but volunteers were eager to answer any questions. We also saw some planes take off. If you book ahead of time, you can take a ride in a plane for about $200 depending on the plane and length of time. It's hot in the summer so bring some water and a fan! Visited on

The museum is very well run and the tour guides are friendly and extremely knowledgeable. Our guide, Warren, an Army veteran, was absolutely wonderful. You could tell how much he loved his job. Many of the planes are still flyable. Overall, it was extremely informative and well worth the cost of admission. If you do go, make sure to leave time to do the guided tour to the other areas (it's free with admission). Visited on

Had a day off from the job that brought me to VA Beach, took some mushrooms, popped some mumble jazz in my headphones and had the most wonderfully magical experience in your incredible museum! Everyone I encountered was beyond lovely, the work selected was well thought out in both consistency AND variety, the place was cleaned to perfection, even the little 3rd party bookshop was adorable. Thank you to everyone who had a hand in what will be a long remembered visit for me. Visited on

Hello everyone! VA MOCA! Great! My first time and I liked it! There are no rotating exhibits, which makes the museum free and it’s a non profit. Check out the exhibit hi lighting young artists to Made in Virginia exhibit to the Sculpture exhibit. That staff is friendly and knowledgeable as well! Before you leave, check out the independent bookstore when you walk in to through the front entrance! Visited on

This was my first time visiting the museum, and I had a wonderful day. Both parking and entrance fee were free. The personnel was friendly. I was too fortunate to view the kids' artwork. Additionally, there is a cute tiny bookstore there. Despite being small, it is well worth a visit if you are nearby! Visited on

We love FLSP. This is a beautiful state park and we enjoy camping here when we are on the Virginia coast. Each day there are educational programs for the kids about the animals and environment. The rangers were very fun to talk to and our kids enjoyed completing the junior ranger book and visiting the Bay Lab with hands on exhibits. The sand at the beach is SO soft. One suggestion… if you are camping I'd suggest the loop away from the main camp store. This time we were at site 23, near the store, and this is also where the shuttle drives through as well as where all the day use visitors park. Last time we were on the other end of the campground and it was much more peaceful and less congested. On the weekend the area by the store and visitors center was overflowing. There are nice bike lanes on the street just outside the entrance that you can ride to atlantic ave (about 5 mi) and then access the Atlantic side of the beach. Overall its a great gem of a state park! Gorgeous sunsets over the bay too!Shannon Denna

My favorite place at the beach and something that makes Virginia Beach truly unique among resort cities. I run or hike here almost every day of the year. On hot summer days, it’s always 3-7 degrees cooler on the trails. Miles upon miles of trails through beautiful forests and wetlands. Seeing the ecology and untouched natural beauty of the area is amazing…Thick groves of ferns amongst the cypress, hidden beaches along the trails, boardwalks across the wetlands… the trails are kept impeccably and there’s a great variety. Kayaks, SUP, and boat rentals along the “Narrows” section, at the 64th St entrance. Truly one of Virginia Beach’s biggest assets.Frantz C Hershey

Absolutely love this state park! We stayed in the campground for a week and loved our site even tho it was on a four lane highway and the traffic was loud even in the middle of the night. The shower houses don't have many showers so I suggest getting there very early in the morning (I had to wait multiple times for a open shower). Loved the beach area it is perfect for sunsets and watching/swimming with the dolphins!! I also loved the bike trails to all the monuments and the camp store! We were so sad when we had to leave so we most definitely will be back!!Jamie D'Amico

Lovely aquarium. $25 for ages 12+, $20 for ages 3-11. Lots of parking in front lot, but there is a $5 fee (pay at muni-meter). At this time, reservations are required. We were lucky enough to show up at around 12 pm on a Wednesday and get a 1 pm reservation…as we didn’t know and didn’t book in advance. Masks are NOT required throughout the aquarium. The beginning portion of the aquarium did get very crowded as it is a narrow pathway through a few exhibits, including the glass aquarium tunnel…when you consider tons of kids and parents taking a gazillion photos, this stretch of the aquarium can get chaotic at times…even with the timed reservations. After that area though…there is more than enough space to explore at your leisure. Lots of interesting and well-thought-out exhibits…be sure to look and read everything. There is so much to learn. The entire aquarium is well-kept and maintained. All staff were very nice and helpful. I highly recommend the aquarium to those of all ages.Jason Persaud

I found this to be a fun and educational aquarium well worth my time. I am a NC resident and decided to take a day trip to explore the Virginia Aquarium. The staff here was warm, friendly, and eager to share information to enhance my experience. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the boardwalk and learning about oyster beds and reefs and the efforts to restore and protect them. There are quite a few large tanks here, each with different offerings, and more than one touch tank. I did not take the whale watching boat tour but I will come back to participate in the experience. I spent more than two hours here and still did not take in all that the aquarium had to offer. I also really appreciated that the gift shop had a large selection of eco-friendly options and things made by local artists. This was a trip well worth my time, and I look forward to returning with friends.Charles Nye

Absolutely awesome. I only give it a four star because the seal and the sting ray exhibits where not available due to updates in the environments which was understandable as well as the nature path. It took us about 3 hours to get through and has so much education to offer. The education went much more beyond the standard wildlife education you normally get at these places. They were interactive and immersive set up that taught about the wild life, our effect on it, and how things have changed over thousands of years. It was very captivating for the whole family. The wildlife was well taken care of and everything was clean and beautiful. Will definitely go back next year when the whole new wing is open!Lana Luscomb (soslowsushi)

Impressed with the customer service and the level of professionalism to say the least. I simply went here to make sure I bought my daughter the correct size bat. The owner let her hit off a tee, threw her a couple balls, then let her take some swings to test out different sizes. Additionally, he got the opinion from one of his softball instructors in regard to which size bat my daughter should use. To wrap it up, my daughter is swinging the perfect size bat for her. Thank you DBAT for being exceptional at your job! Craig, Lindsey, Pat you nailed it!Josh Liebeck

Extremely helpful. First time customer, gave a great tour of the place. Showed us how everything worked. Allowed us to test out different bats, helped my kids with sizing a bat, and allowed him to do practice swings with different bats before purchasing one. Highly recommend this place. Definitely going to be coming back. Thanks again for the great customer service.jeffrey Onion

Unbelievably amazed with how professional and well ran this establishment is. I’m a high school coach from New York, and my guys needed a place to swing. We were welcomed with open arms and accommodated beyond words. The staff is great, friendly, and works hard to make your stay enjoyable. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Top notch facility!!Sean Burke

10 out of 10 recommend GameOn Gaming Center for birthday parties! They were absolutely wonderful. The kids loved all of the gaming options including the VR! The best part as a parent was the helpers that go around and help any and everyone with questions on how to work certain things/games! They also set up all the decorations, provide and serve the food and drinks, cut the cake, and hand that out too! Best of all they clean up all of the mess! The only complaint we have is that we wish it lasted longer! Haha it was a total blast!Shannon Merritt

Such an amazing experience. This mama knows nothing about gaming but having a party here was the best decision. Stress free, I just showed up kiddos gamed and the event was decorated to perfection. Such a seamless party I sat at the table and actually had conversations with adults while kiddos played which was amazing. The staff is incredible and extremely professional and very patient with all the little ones. They helped them get set up and if they had trouble the staff assisted the kiddos. I would highly recommend!!!Maria torbush

The owners are very friendly and car about the children. I love the fact the kids aren't allowed to run out the door saying their ride is there. A staff member makes sure it's someone they know. I like it has so many game options for anyone. It's very clean inside. I was extremely worried about the restroom. They don't have men / women restrooms separated. I think it's only 1 restroom for the customers. But overall an amazing place. My son is apart of the E tournament.Love Matters

My kids love it! They enjoy the environment (no parents in the dojo!), they like the employees, and they are having fun learning. I have one child who is very motivated by completing the exercises and moving up to the next color "belt." My other son is less motivated but enjoys making the games and playing others' games, so he loves going even though he's not "advancing" as quickly as his brother. Never any whining or complaining when I tell them it's time to go to Code Ninjas!Jill Williams

My 6&8 year pld granddaughtes LOVE Code Ninja days together They share their experiences with each other on the drive home, laughing and excited about the games they are creati g. They are self motivated to earn their nect ninja belt color. Lots of enthusiasm about the lessons– every ti.e! We ALL love the staff and stimulsting environment at Code NinjasDebbie Lowrance

I have a 6 year old daughter who is LOVING Code Ninjas even though 7 is the suggested age for beginning! She is in the top third of her class for reading. She is able to go and use her creativity with the animation in the white belt programming and have a blast while learning beginning coding skills!John McLaren

Went here for about a year and a half, I enjoyed myself and professors were cool, wish they had a film program so I could switch my previous major so I can get my degree with the credits I already haveDas UNO

This is an amazing venue for a Birthday party. I only had to bring the cupcakes and they did everything else. Party favors and tablecloth for cake table are provided. There's an area for opening presents and even some toys for smaller kids to tinker with in case they get bored. Karen, the owner is great at engaging the children, giving clear and relatable instructions and most importantly getting them to have fun while paying attention. Karen and her team do everything according to their schedule with the art project. The best part, no mess at my house! Love this place ❤Bianca Kauffman

We have attended a few of the classes at Kidcreate so I decided to have my daughter's 7th birthday at the studio in Newport News. I really wanted this party to be special because it was the first one she has been able to have since COVID. Kidcreate did NOT disappoint. My daughter chose unicorn slime as her project. The staff was awesome and they made the project fun for the kids. They had everything needed for the party (plates, napkins, cake slicer). They were very prepared. It was also very affordable. I would recommend Kidcreate to others for parties!Brittany Skeens

I scheduled Kidcreate to come to our daycare for an in-house field trip. We made rainbow fish out of clay. Adele came and guided the project. She did an amazing job. The kids loved it and did a great job too. Adele was early and she set everything up and cleaned up after as well. She was very engaging with the kids. She even encouraged and helped them along the way if the needed it. It was a FABULOUS experience and we will be doing it again I am sure.Diana L. Gates

My three children decided to take the week long camp with John Fudala June 6-10. John and Denise were amazing with them (ages 9,9,6). The kids learned an so many tricks and techniques – I couldn't believe how much and how quickly they learned. Their confidence levels increased every day, and they had an absolute blast. The kids have repeatedly told me that this was one of the best camps they've ever been a part of, and they done many different types of camps during their young lives. John and Denise made it so much fun (costumes, music, pizza, and a mellow environment). As a parent, I really appreciated listening to the life lessons they were teaching the kids about perseverance, practice, and hard work while they taught them how to skate safely. I highly recommend it and hope to come back in August once they've had a chance to practice 🙂 THANK YOU for an amazing camp and life experience this week!Mark Murnane

I am really excited to write this review. I can not say enough great things about John Fudala and his assistants. My son had did a 3 day Skate Camp previously at another location. I was so mad at what a waste of money that was and it literally was nothing more than a expensive babysitting service. When I came across John Fudala at Coastal Edge I was a little hesitant but my son really wanted to learn how to skateboard. I purchased the 5 Day Skate Camp package and all I can say it wow!!! John is a great teacher and so caring and professional. My son in five days learned so much and is excited to practice everyday. I definitely will be a repeat customer and looking forward to my son learning so much more. I can not thank him and his assistants enough for their dedication.Heather Woolley

My son's first Skate Camp (Winter Holiday 2020). He had just gotten comfortable putting both his feet on the board prior to camp. By the end of 5 days, he looked much more comfortable on the board, could do more, & had enough confidence to try dropping in from a few places. Coach John was so patient & made it fun for the kids of various ages & experience levels. He drilled fundamentals & progressed as the kids did. With so many kids, he went around to "check off" the kids to make sure they could do skill sets taught. He was communicative & responsive with my general questions, wheel & board recommendations & addressed concerns with days of possible rain. My son anxiously awaits the next time he can go out to practice more & can't wait to do the next camp in the Spring!Janeth Ramos

The kids had a blast. They were well entertained, with a huge focus on fun (they didn't even realize they were learning!). The Scientists kept the kids engaged and interactive. They are still talking about how fun it was and are begging me to sign them up for summer camp! Not a single child was bored-out of 22 kids! A decent age range and girls as well as boys, they all watched intently the whole time. The scientists made it so fun, even us adults were engaged. Best birthday party idea ever, you wont be disappointed.Asher's Dad

I booked a party for my 7 year old son Brenton! Jupiter Jen was sooo AMAZING!!! From arrival to departure she made the entire experience great!! She even called the day before the party to introduce herself and discuss everything. She not only made my son feel like a star but included every child ( even us adults in some things) in all the hands on activities and show. We did the cotton candy grand finale and of course everybody including adults enjoyed that!! Hands down best experience!!Nicole Baker

We loved our Mad Science party! It was the perfect fit for my science loving children. The programs and content are catered to the children’s ages so it captures their attention. Proton Pete was amazing. He called a few days before the party to learn about my daughter’s interests and then incorporated those things into the program. It felt like a personalized experience. Even my two year old stayed engaged the entire time! I would highly recommend!Sami Sturgeon

This place is incredible. The coaches, Sensa and the Shihan are really dedicated to teaching the kids/teens/adults the foundation of martial arts. They take the time to point out to students what needs corrected, but also notice when the students are doing an exceptional job. They have a Christian foundation they teach from and I love that. The beginning of the karate lesson (for kids) they have a motivational saying they all say together emphasizing that they are learning this for defence, not to hurt people. It gets them so motivated. My four children/teens are absolutely loving this. They have gone from, I guess I will try twice a week to wanting to be there every day. They practice together, even on a camping trip. 😆. (We only started a week ago!!!) I am so grateful to have found this place. If you are considering this, at least come and meet the Shihan and other people there. See a lesson. It is so worth it.L Miller

I had originally visited during a summer camp, and during that camp had the pleasure of meeting the owners and discussing how my daughter had behavioral issues and that her therapist had recommended that she take martial arts to help with her ADHD. They shared with me how they knew this program would help her. After discussing this with them some more and coming to a trial class. I am happy to report that this moment in time changed our lives. I have watched my daughter grow in confidence, control, faith,perseverance, and kindness. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Savior Martial Arts, the owners, the staff, and students here. If you are looking for more than just a martial arts program but a life changing future this is the place to come. They truly build students from the inside out.Donna Kubaiko

We love Savior martial arts. We started with just our 6-year-old son doing it to help him with focus. Now the entire family does it. It is really helpss both of my children with focus, self-discipline, and perseverance. Plus they just really love to go. I also love that it's bible-based and they pray before and after each lesson and my daughter has a Bible study at the end of every class. The shihan, senseis, and coaches are fantastic and truly love these kids. I definitely suggest checking them out.Jenny Mozingo

Shout of to Bryanna!! for making this first timer feel welcomed and right at home. The environment is amazing. This shop is very versatile with the customers that come and get service done. All the barbers seemed very knowledgeable and kept it very relaxing and comfortable for all the customers. No wait time and the appointment I scheduled started exactly on time. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a new spot to get 100% what you paid for and a whole lot more. Looks like I found a new home for my hair. Thanks to everyone that was there today!

Isadora has been going to the Vault for almost 2 years now. She has attended class at least once a week, usually twice a week over this time. She has come a long way in her field hockey game and I believe her skills learned at the Vault has played a big role. She is more assertive as a player, reading the field better, and she is able to do that because she is confident in her stick skills. The coaches there are great with the girls and Isadora has so much fun while doing it. She begs to go more often!Rocky Kitzmiller

We have been using Vault Athletic and Fitness as an additional coaching spot for my daughter who plays field hockey. This place is very well run and maintained. Over the period of years they have increased the number of offerings and now cater to a lot more than just field hockey. The walls here are filled with pictures of student athletes who have trained here and have moved on to bigger and better venues. I highly recommend the Vault for fitness and sports training needs.Salman Zaidi

The Vault has been an outstanding experience for our team. The facility is extremely clean and has the necessary equipment to allow us to have full workouts. The best part is the staff. They are extremely professional and helpful. Their friendliness greats you as you enter the facility. Our kids look forward to our time at The Vault. I highly recommend using this facility and taking advantage of their knowledgeable staff.9U Tidewater Patriots

If you are trying to help you children grow mentally and physically then this is the place for you and your family. Master Geoff Cielo and his Black belt team of instructors and students are the best. Always there to help you and your child grow. Don't just think that kids need to be a part of a Soccer ball, Football, Basketball, or Baseball to feel a part of a team. This is not an individual sport. Even one works together and support each other. I have the great opportunity to join my children on the mat and have discovered that it takes great focus. Even with my limitations I have been able to made fill comfortable by the team. The also offer Tai Chi, a great way to focus you mind and body with out high impact to your body. They offer other programs. Set your new life Goal. Give them a call and sit down to see what works for you!Christian Lewis

KTMA led by Master Cielo, has a place for absolutely everyone whether you're a beginner a child an expert or even an experienced combat fighter like myself. Master C goes out of his way to teach anyone from any Walk of Life how martial arts will greatly impact anyone's life for the better if you're willing to accept the challenge. The staff is awesome and so are the instructors alike it's a great way to get back in shape gear up for the cage or just learn self defense for yourself and your family again they specialize with kids and emphasize the importance of family and self-discipline I encourage you if you're interested in martial arts this is a place to start or to make your home!Andrew Redifer

I am so thankful to have found KTMA. Not only does my son love the training even at 5yrs old, and I love that he is learning so much as a human, but the sense of community I feel as a parent is incredible. Every student and parent who comes in the door, regardless of tenure/age/belt level, treats every other parent/student kindly as if they are their own. Every instructor genuinely cares for the students and their families and I just can’t get enough of it. Thank you to all the amazing KTMA staff and Master C for giving us a place where I can confidently say my son is valued, respected, and loved.Becca Mayberry

I love this place so much. My son and I both took lessons here and they accommodated both him and I at the same time, with different teachers, for different instruments. It was so special and the community they’ve built is amazing. The teachers are all so genuine, happy, and love what they do. It’s evidenced by the owner and his nonstop smile that everyone there is happy to come and teach kids – and moms like me who just want to learn again. The world needs more good music, good people, and a happy community – and Virginia Beach Bach to Rock brings it all. Thank you Rick & team!Brianna Dempsey

Amazing place where the teachers actually are invested in their students advancement and feedback at the end of lessons is not just "practice more" but is specific advice to each student. I say this because while waiting for my own child to finish I hear teachers interacting with many parents and feedback is never just same old same old. Also Rick, the owner, you can tell his investment and his love of both music and working with kids. would absolutely recommend this location for anyone from beginner and just learning to advanced and wanting to sharpen up some skills.mdr725

We love Bach to Rock and their philosophy of teaching using modern pop & rock songs instead of dusty standards. Everyone at the Va Beach location is so friendly and their love for music and teaching music shines through.The course options are great and I love the fact that I can take guitar lessons while my daughter is in her piano/keyboard class. She and I plan to take the DJ/Beats class together down the road when she's older. It's a lot of fun! I'm so glad we found B2R!Tricia Dozier

My son was a self learner. But I signed him up at school of rock to learn about music and notes and how to listen for the different rhythms. His teacher Jacob is an excellent and knowledgeable person to learn from. He sends me notes home of what my son is actually learning and I can hear the difference in his confident keyboard playing already after 3 lessons. I even signed him up for summer camp at school of rock this summer. Thank you school of rock for helping my son feel good and confident about playing his keyboard. I love all the songs he can play now. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking to learn how to play instruments. PattyPatty Preston

We absolutely LOVE School of Rock. In less than a year we have seen our 8 year old son's love of music and performance (not to mention his confidence) grow enormously. SoR is an inclusive, welcoming learning environment that introduces kids to music in a fun, entertaining way and allows them to excel if they demonstrate the aptitude. The public performances are so fun for the kids, the parents, and the whole family! Also need to mention that Carlton, (SoR instructor in Virginia Beach) is absolutely excellent!Michael Woodhead

So professional and so friendly! Kids get quality instruction, and are given an opportunity for growth no matter their ability. My son loves his drum lessons with Igor…he is so encouraging! My son always leaves School of Rock excited about his progression, but with determination to practice at home to get better. I can’t say enough about the staff and instructors. They are always available, extremely helpful, and most importantly, they seem to genuinely care about their students!Llee
