Overview
As the sun paints a golden hue on the horizon, the day begins at Common Ground Environmental Center Summer Camps. Here, the air buzzes with the vibrant energy of children ready to embark on a new day of discovery and growth. Founded in the late 80s, this camp was born of a dream — a dream to strengthen the connection between city dwellers and the natural world, to foster a healthier community through homegrown food, and to revolutionize how we teach our children. Stepping into the Common Ground camp is like entering a world where creativity and nature walk hand in hand. A world where every activity, be it arts and crafts or cooking, is a journey of exploration. Children are guided to use their hands and hearts, to create, to experience, and to learn. But it's not just about the crafts and the cooking; it's about the lessons these activities teach — teamwork, patience, and a love for the environment. Ultimately, this is a place where children can be children — where they can laugh, play, learn, and grow. It's where they can get their hands dirty in the soil, feel the satisfaction of crafting something with their own hands, and taste the joy of cooking a meal from scratch. So, if you're seeking a summer camp that combines fun, learning, and a healthy respect for our planet, pack the sunscreen, bug spray, and a sense of adventure. At Common Ground, an unforgettable summer awaits.
