City of Gainesville Earth Academy Day Camp Summer Camp

Earth Academy Day Camp awakens your child's innate curiosity while encouraging an environmental ethic and appreciation of the natural world! This nature-based day camp is held at Morningside Nature Center and uses hands-on fun to focus attention on natural and cultural history. Instructors are career educators and science professionals experienced in working with children. Earth Academy Day Camp is offered to rising 1st-6th grade children.

Camp is offered in one-week sessions during Alachua County School's summer break. In addition to a variety of theme-based, multidisciplinary projects, campers have fun with character development through our Youth Resiliency Program. Camp tends to fill quickly, and space is limited so be sure to register early!
