Camp takes place Monday-Friday from 9:00am-1:00pm during the school vacation week.

Summer Camps
Summer Camp provides a safe, fun, and educational environment during summer vacation for youth entering 1st-6th grade. Children participate in 3 activities per day that utilize the garden as much as possible as a learning tool.
Campers spend the day on-site participating in activities, swimming in the creek, playing at Rotary Park, and cooling off during personal choice time. Summer Camp is not only a place for learning and fun, but a place where campers build lasting friendships.
