Harvest Camp 2025

- Overnight Camp (grades K-8th)- Oct. 24-26
Offered during fall break, Harvest Camp provides both day and overnight options for grades K-8, with sliding scale discounted pricing for Summit County School District students based on financial need.
This camp is a chance for both new and returning campers to experience the wonders of autumn at KSS, celebrating the Halloween and Día de los Muertos seasons. Campers will explore the natural changes of fall, studying flora and fauna in transition, while engaging in hands-on activities that spark curiosity about the world around them. Harvest Camp is an excellent opportunity for children to build independence, foster a love of nature, and enjoy a safe, fun environment with new friends.

In the words of parents:
“We love that the kids are able to explore and experience the outdoors. We see camp as an opportunity for them to gain confidence, try new things and learn skills like leadership.”
“Camp opens up new experiences that she otherwise wouldnt have, gives her more exposure with different peer sets, and expands her problem solving. I’ve never seen her so tired!”
“We love that kids are learning about nature and science and that they are outdoors enjoying themselves. Counselors are great!”
