Vacation Day Camp

No vacation day camps are scheduled in September. We will have an Election Day camp; registration details will be available soon.

When school is closed, Vacation Day Camp is open!

Earthplace Vacation Day Camp offers exciting opportunities for discovery, tailored for children ages 3-12. Depending on the season, campers may enjoy climbing trees or rocks at Big Rock Junction, exploring the trails at Earthplace, or honing their fort-building skills.

Frequently Asked Questions

Each vacation day is unique and varies based on the size and interests of the group. Campers spend the day outdoors, taking time to visit our residents in Animal Hall and engaging in age-appropriate nature-based art projects. The focus is on appreciating the beauty and natural resources of the Earthplace sanctuary.
