Willkommen zu:

Blaue Erde Kinder

Our native German speaking teachers are excited to welcome our campers to their summer adventure - projects, experiments, field trips, crafts & arts await in an immersive German setting. No prior German knowledge necessary. 

This is a bilingual camp, everybody is welcome.

During camp our Kinder will venture to the local parks daily and also go on at least one full day field trip to an off-campus location. Our students will share adventures, develop new friendships, and learn and practice their German language. 

In this session, our Kinder will explore the Great Lakes and its rivers as part of the blue earth we live on. Campers will get up close and see how water flows, changes form, and supports all living things. Campers will also explore the many stories our water ways hold, while creating crafts and art inspired by what they learn.

Core hours for camp are 9am-3pm, but if you need before or after camp supervision, simply select these options during the registration process (see below for more details).
