Are you a fourth, fifth or sixth grader looking for adventure, mystery and fun?  If so, Kids for the Earth is for you. If you’re a returning camper or brand new, you’ll feel welcome in this community and best of all, you’re sure to have a great time.  Mornings begin with a 7 a.m. Polar Bear Swim followed by ecology expeditions that take you all over Ferry Beaches 32 acres and beyond. You’ll explore the beach at low tide in search of sand dollars, shells, and other treasures and venture into our coastal forest learning about plants and wildlife as you go. You’ll climb onto rocky tide pools to find crabs and sea stars. You’ll work on a service project and have a surprise field trip sure to provide you with an exciting learning experience.

Afternoons are filled with fun activity choices for campers. Newcomb (a variation of volleyball), sandcastle contests, beach combing, clay masks, art in the art room or on the beach, quiet time for reading or card games on the lovely wrap around Quillen porch, ice cream at our famous ice cream stand and so much more.

The fun doesn’t stop there. In the evening we play Hide and Seek (find the counselors) have a fun filled game night, movie night with popcorn, a campfire sing along with s'mores, fireworks on the beach, and our popular Talent/No Talent Show. This is an opportunity for anyone to share musical talents, dance, short skits, karate, jokes or any other talent/no talent you possess. And if you’re not on stage we need an audience.

Our ecologists have a wealth of information to share and really neat hands-on activities for you to enjoy.  Our counselors are experienced and most are returning. Best of all, they are parents whose children come to the Ferry Beach Camps. We, the counselors, can tell you first hand Kids for the Earth is GREAT!!! For all returning campers we can’t wait to see you again. To all new campers, WELCOME, WELCOME!  We’re so excited for this year’s camp. We’ll see you there.
