earthworksEarthworks Summer Day Camp is the perfect place for children to disconnect from technology and learn about the interconnectedness with all of creation. Earthworks Summer Day Camps are designed for children ages 6-10. Weekly day camps run Monday thru Friday from 9 am until 3 pm EDT, June 11-15, 18-22 and 25-29. July camps will be held July 9-13, 16-20, and 23-27.

Earthworks Summer Day Camps are filled with fun activities, all related to nature. These include music, exploring the variety of habitats at The Center at Donaldson, art and nature related games. Residents from Maria Center, an independent living community at The Center, join the children twice a week for intergenerational activities.

Each week the campers will visit a farm and greenhouse, fish, hike through the woods and prairie, and a favorite – “kids playing with kids” (of the goat variety). An art experience that is inspired by the natural surroundings is included.

Children can attend one or more of the six weeks of day camp. The cost is $150 per week with a 10% discount for additional siblings. Before and after childcare is available upon request. Scholarships are available for up to 50% of the cost of camp. Earthworks day camp provides a safe environment for children to explore nature.
