Summer Camp


Summer Camp is an opportunity for school-age children (aged 5 - 12) to relax in the sun, have a great time, and gain knowledge through hands-on experiences. Peer interaction allows children to be part of a team while they learn and grow together. Since the classroom is a multi-age group, each child learns to support and understand others, building skills such as empathy, cooperation, and assistance. Field trips are an integral part of the program and are planned around the interests of the children. This time is spent relaxing, having fun, and exploring the Lansing area.

Our 12-week program typically includes: 

  • Nature exploration
  • Cooking
  • Arts and crafts
  • Swimming, biking, and running
  • Frequent field trips and picnic lunches
  • Library visits … and more!

EC3’s accredited program offers:

  • Highly-trained child development and elementary education staff
  • An air-conditioned facility, large gym, and on-site playground
  • Quiet time to work on projects without interruptions (including reflecting upon thoughts through journal entries, reading books, and creating art projects
  • Opportunities for youth to achieve higher levels of independence
