For the 23rd consecutive year, the Wood County Educational Service Center CLC is inviting Wood County students to join adventure filled summer camp experiences, this time on a journey to Tomorrowland.
These camps will offer K-6 students themed enrichment and academic activities, 6:30 a.m.-6 p.m., Monday through Friday, all summer long, and are located in Bowling Green, North Baltimore, Rossford and Northwood elementary schools.
Campers, aka “time travelers,” will stay busy all summer, creating their own robots, futuristic mobiles and using geospatial technology. They will grow their own tomato plants and mini gardens at each site, and participate in other fun activities, such as virtual field trips to locations like Hershey’s Park, Nickelodeon Headquarters, Disney World, and more. Campers will also be taking care of butterflies and fish this summer, with one camper from each site taking a goldfish home.
Campers will have the opportunity to travel to the Rutherford B. Hayes Museum, Indian Creek Zoo, Imagination Station and Sauder Village every other Friday, plus visit the Grand Rapids or Pemberville pool every other week. On pool days, one camper from each site will be chosen to be a space cadet; a student who helps friends, uses manners, listens to directions, and spreads positivity. This special cadet will earn a special space-themed bag filled with hands-on activities to do at home.
Finally, campers will have other opportunities for enrichment this summer, including writing weekly pen pal letters and swapping them with other friends from Wood County. They can also participate in WeRead, where all campers will read “Meet the Robinsons” and watch the movie, enjoy sprinklers on Tuesdays for splash days and have dailymindfulness, camp in the box, and STEAM projects.
On Mondays, students will be taking time out to do community service for their school and district. This may be helping cleaning the grounds, spreading kindness or going the extra mile for a community partner.
All sites will offer students a breakfast and snack. Bowling Green-Crim and North Baltimore will additionally have free lunches provided by Connecting Kids to Meals and Northwood Local School District will provide daily hot lunches.
