Ellemercito Learning Community – Summer Adventure Camp (2026)
A hands-on, curiosity-driven camp!
Ellemercito Learning Community’s Summer Adventure Camp is a thoughtfully designed summer experience rooted in exploration, creativity, and meaningful learning.
Designed for curious minds in grades 3-8, this eight-week camp is built around the belief that kids thrive when they’re given the space to explore, create, and dive deep into things that genuinely excite them.
Each week brings a completely new theme, so campers always have something fresh to look forward to, with the flexibility to join for just the weeks that speak to them.
Every day is intentionally hands-on: building real engineering challenges, baking from scratch, performing science experiments, caring for animals, and venturing out into the community on field trips.
