Is there anything better than a summer day spent exploring a creek, creating art and hiking wooded trails? We don’t think so! Earth Camp is our signature program for kids ages 6-13, designed to foster a deep connection with nature and each other.
This year, we have eight incredible weekly themes that keep the excitement fresh:
- Week 1: Eco-Adventures – Learn the art of foraging, sustainable living, and recycling by turning everyday items into treasure.
- Week 2: Trees, Trees, and More Trees – Yes, this includes our famous facilitated tree climbing among our stunning sycamores!
- Week 3: WILD Ohio – Become an explorer and investigate the plants and animals indigenous to Northeast Ohio.
- Week 4: S.T.E.A.M. – Where science, technology, engineering, arts, and math meet the forest floor.
- Week 5: Radical River – Make a splash! We’ll explore the Vermilion River, go on river walks, and learn about the local ecosystem.
- Week 6: A Bug’s Life – Discover the secrets of the tiny creatures that call our 30 acres home.
- Week 7: Nature Survival Quest – Build shelters, learn to navigate by nature’s clues, and become a wilderness expert.
- Week 8: Best of the Best – We’re closing out the summer by bringing back the absolute favorite games, songs, and activities from the entire season!
At Earth Camp, we don’t just “go outside.” We hike, we create art, we play music, and we learn about the amazing “Wild Ohio” habitats right in our backyard. It’s a place where kids can truly be kids.
