Hope Grows

Looking for a unique summer camp experience for your child?

Hope Grows' Kids Pollinator Camp is back this July! Designed for children entering grades K–4, this engaging 3-day outdoor camp combines the best of our Birds, Butterflies, and Bees programs into one unforgettable adventure.

Campers will observe live bees at work, learn about butterflies and birds, participate in hands-on nature activities, explore our gardens, create nature-inspired crafts, and discover how pollinators impact our everyday lives. They will also learn about kindness, empathy, and the important role caregivers play in our communities in connection with our Hope Grows mission.

📅 July 7–9
⏰ 9:00 AM–1:00 PM
📍 Hope Grows, Moon Township
💲 $150 for the 3-day experience

Only a few spaces remain for July, so reserve your child's spot today and give them a summer filled with discovery, creativity, and outdoor fun!

As the days grow longer and the gardens flourish, we're reminded that growth happens one day at a time. Wishing our Hope Grows community a summer filled with hope, healing, and moments of well-deserved rest.💜

Today, Hope Grows joins in honoring Juneteenth—a day of reflection, freedom, resilience, and hope. As we care for and support one another, we celebrate the strength found in community and the importance of remembering and learning from our shared history.

Did you know? Hope Grows offers several opportunities for children to get outdoors, explore nature, and learn through hands-on experiences this summer in Moon Township!

Through our In2Nature Camp (facilitated in part by L.L. Bean) and our monthly Kids Pollinator Camps, children can learn about gardening, pollinators, wildlife, and conservation while building confidence, curiosity, teamwork, and a lifelong appreciation for nature. 🐝🦋🌻
