    El Campamento Proyecto SOL se enfocará en la conexión con la naturaleza en un formato bilingüe (español/inglés). La meta de este campamento es abordar una barrera común con los campamentos de verano: acceso de idioma. El Campamento Proyecto SOL explorará la eco-terapia -- como la conexión con la naturaleza puede apoyar a nuestra salud mental y física.

    Los campistas pueden anticipar actividades acerca de la exploración al aire libre, expresión artística y cómo cuidar el bienestar de nuestro planeta, nuestra comunidad y nosotros mismos. El público meta para este campamento son los estudiantes que comunican principalmente en español y los estudiantes de hogares bilingües nativos.

    El Campamento de ASE & Movimiento combina el aprendizaje social-emocional (ASE) con deportes y actividades para fortalecer la confianza, el trabajo en equipo y la resiliencia de los campistas, todo mientras se divierten al aire libre.

    Cada mañana, los campistas explorarán una de las cinco habilidades fundamentales de ASE (conciencia de sí mismo, autogestión, conciencia social, habilidades de relación y cómo tomar decisiones responsables) a través de juegos, reflexión y actividades del desarrollo comunitario.

    Los campistas disfrutarán de tiempo inmersos en el marco natural y bello del Parque Eagle Creek, donde el Centro del Aprendizaje de la Paz está ubicado. La semana terminará con una celebración en la playa del Parque Eagle Creek -- disfrutando el agua y el sol para cerrar una semana empoderante juntos.

    Solar Camp will combine the scientific principles of solar energy, the engineering of solar systems, the public policy that supports the solar energy transition, the creativity of promoting solar solutions to our community, and the fun of experiencing the solar world firsthand. We will take our campers to solar sites, let them talk with installers and developers. We will introduce them to policy makers and energy experts. We will also have students use their creative skills to imagine how this technology can be used in their lives and how it can evolve with a modeling project. Students will get to take field trips, do lab experiments, and create art. This camp blends technology with art and policy in a way that is right at home with our Climate Camp model.

About Climate Camp

Earth Charter Indiana is the only organization in Indiana combining climate stewardship with civic action. In the process, we incorporate humane education practices while emphasizing racial and social justice issues, along with conflict resolution principles. Climate Camp is one of our signature programs. Our Camps provide the opportunity for young people, ages 6 on up to dig deep on climate change and climate solutions. Every camp is different, but we always mix science, art, nature connection, service-learning and civic action.

In addition to our weeklong camps, we offer drop-in and day camps to partner organizations who want to take climate action with their youth. Plus, we go on field trips (Eskenazi SkyFarm, Indy Urban Acres, Freewheelin' Community Bikes, Fruit Loop Acres, etc.) and have a lot of fun! Contact us if you are interested in hosting us!

In 2023 our Bus Camp kids were interviewed by Anne Laker for a spot on local public radio station, 99.1 WQRT. You can hear that interview by clicking the play button below.
