Explore the City of Fort Wayne and discover fun in surrounding areas of Northeast Indiana. Each week of camp incorporates a different theme through field trips, guest speakers, related activities, games, and arts and crafts. In fact, campers stay quite active when comparing life both inside and outside the city! Please note that our day camp is a traveling camp that may travel up to 1.5 hours or 75 miles away for some of our field trips. Campers also have fun in the sun while they enjoy an afternoon at Northside Pool and get to do a little gardening too. Pick your week(s), and join us this summer exploring different parks and area attractions, admiring wild animals up close, and learning all about the world of art. Reserve your adventure spot, and sign up today! Limit of 24 campers per week.
