Be an Artist
Do you have a budding artist in your house, or do you have creative children who just like to paint? In this POD, you will learn various art techniques and mediums including acrylic, tempera, watercolor, clay and more. Make room on the walls because your artist will be producing creative collections to display in this POD!
Crafty Kids
So many crafts . . . so little time! We’re going for the record by completing as many different crafts as we can this week.
Creative Think Tank
Creative Think Tank is based on the popular television show Shark Tank™. Campers experience a week filled with opportunities to expand their creative minds by developing their own business ideas. We encourage campers to make decisions, form teams, vote on ideas, present their projects to a panel of “top investors”, and even make their own prototypes of potential products, then discuss and debate the deals and business opportunities.
CSI Investigators
Elementary my dear, Campers! Step into the shoes of a crime scene investigator. Working together as a crime scene unit, you will take photographs, gather evidence, and search for clues. This hands-on camp will inspire your young investigator to work as a team, use critical thinking skills, and solve the mystery. Remember, crime scenes can get messy, so wear comfortable clothes that can get dirty!
Dinosaur Detectives
Calling all future paleontologists! Grab your fossil brushes as we step back in time to discover the age of dinosaurs. This week campers will create their own dinosaur costumes, uncover mysterious fossils, and even build their own binoculars for a dinosaur hunt around camp.

Fort Wayne, Promenade Park and more.

whiffle ball, broom-ball or bocce ball?
