Summer will be here before we know it and we are excited to announce our extended summer programming for 2025! This summer, Camp Rainbow will run 11 weeks beginning June 2-August 15. For children who have completed our Twos program to students six years of age, each week will feature a unique theme with associated crafts, snacks, and activities. You can pick and choose weeks or sign up for the entire summer! These camps are a wonderful opportunity for students to spend extended time in our beautiful nature center. Each camp is $175 weekly and will run from 9-12 Monday-Friday. Except for our 2s program, all children must be fully potty trained to participate (please reach out for medical/developmental reasons). Registration is on a first serve basis, with registration opening February 3, 2025, for current families and to FUMC members. Community spots will open on March 3, 2025, if space allows. Registration will close May 1, 2025, or when spots are full. We cannot guarantee drop in spots after registration closes.
