All About Camp
We are all about summertime joy! Our camp thrives on fun, storytelling, games, hands-on creativity, and summer adventures. Campers will engage in both collaborative and individual projects. We believe in empowering kids to make their own choices while providing structure and guidance. Whether we’re running around, creating, experimenting, or cooling off, our camps offer a space where kids and adults feel safe, welcome, and connected and where we work on growing in body, mind and spirit. Camp includes mindfulness, art, music, games, time outdoors, hands on learning and fun with friends. Your family does not need to be active at East Shore Unitarian for your child attend.
Week 1: Zines, Books, and Graphic Novels: July 21-25, 2025
Campers will learn how to make zines and books – designing, creating, and story telling through illustration and writing. Campers will also enjoy outdoor sketching and play breaks at a nearby park and collaborate on a community zine by interviewing and capturing local stories.

At the end of the week, each student goes home with a book, graduation certificate and skills to use for a lifetime.
