Eco Explorers

2026 summer camp registration opens on February 2.

Get ready for a week of adventure, games, and hands-on fun! This eco-focused summer camp keeps campers moving, exploring, and having a blast while learning how to take care of the world around them.

Each day is packed with water games and team challenges in the pool, along with games and sports in the gym that keep campers active and engaged. Outside, campers will go on scavenger hunts, tackle obstacle courses, and take part in creative challenges that get them thinking and working together. Along the way, campers will explore sustainability and fun ways to help the planet—like repurposing materials, cutting down on waste, and discovering nature in new ways.

All swimming abilities are welcome.
