Ebenezer's Explorers Summer Day Camp

Registration is now open for summer camp! Ebenezer’s Explorers Summer Day Camp is a week-long adventure, exploring a different theme each day. We love spending time outdoors at UM’s various locations, including Ebenezer Swamp Ecological Preserve, the Organic Community Garden, and the James Wylie Shepherd Observatory. When you are planning for summer camp, please note that campers will attend the camp based on the grade they are going into the fall of 2024. We will meet Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and we will have optional aftercare available for an additional fee of $55. The price for summer camp is $275, lunch and snack are provided. This year we are offering multi-child discounts for families and there are full and partial scholarships available if financial assistance is needed. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the Environmental Education Program Director, Jecca Thomason.

We look forward to welcoming you to camp!
