Join us for a week full of things that go. We’ll fly, take a train, sail a ship, and more as we explore all things transportation. Our travels will take us to far off places... maybe even to space

Travel “Under the Sea” while we learn about different sea creatures. We’ll play games, sing songs, and make “Catch of the Day” crafts that you’ll get to take home!

Learn and play various backyard games that are great for all ages. Croquet, washers, wiffleball, kickball, cornhole, and more are taught, played, and, in some cases, built! Students will get to play with various pairings and tournaments, and simply have a blast learning new games with a new group of friends

Painting rocks, sculpting with sticks, glueing with leaves, PAINTING WITH MUD, and more! Come join us for a fun week of creating art with nature. We will take a daily nature hike to collect our materials for the project that day. Your child will come home with many beautiful, nature-inspired pieces. Come dressed to impress the mud, and please apply sunscreen and bug spray before camp each day.

Soar into summer with egg-citing adventures. Get outside and learn the basics of birding to identify the birds in our backyard. We’ll feature songbirds like cardinals, bluebirds, and chickadees; raptors like owls, eagles, and hawks; and your favorite bird. Play migration games, model habitats, and connect with nature.

Head to the Beach Party and dive into a world of fun! We will play on the Early Childhood Center playground, splashing in the water feature and digging in the sand. To cool off, we will head inside for a yummy snack, fun ocean-themed crafts, and games! Don’t forget your sunblock!

Stress Benders Growing up can feel so hard! Self or social awareness can be tricky, and self or relationship management can feel almost impossible. Grab your yoga mat (or a beach towel) and join us for Stress Benders! Each day, we will begin with a yoga story. Then, we will build our emotional intelligence with games, crafts, and activities.

Children are grouped by age and enjoy crafts, games, nature programs and sports. Bring a non-perishable lunch, two snacks and beverages daily.

A space camp, maybe a science camp, no an art camp.... Let’s do them all in one week! Each day will have a different theme and topic. Instructor: CE staff

Join us as we celebrate ALL animals, ALL week long! Engage in fun interactive games and activities, meet animal experts and ambassadors and put our compassion into action through service projects that benefit animals. Embark on a scavenger hunt in our shelter, explore animal-related careers, become a Jr. humane officer, observe surgery, make animal enrichment toys, decorate kennels and much, much more!
