Our team wants to give a big THANK YOU to all parents and campers for making this return to summer camp a success! We truly could not do it without your enthusiasm and care to make this season a safe return to exploring the natural world with friends in our Garden. I heard from many of you how your camper woke up excited to go to camp and explore the Hands-On Nature Anarchy Zone or check the Rice Paddy Pond for turtles later in the hot day. I cannot express how excited myself and our staff were to experience those same moments; having camp return to the Garden lightened the hearts and minds of everyone.
To the campers who came in with energy and curiosity each morning and showed us the impact this summer experience has on each child.
To the seasonal staff who dedicated their summer to making the camp a success and connected fully with each camper to better their weekly experience.
To the parents who showed patience throughout a longer than normal daily drop-off and dedication to creating a safe summer camp.
We hope to see you throughout the academic year in ICG programs or just a visit to the beautiful Garden as it grows through its seasonal changes. As always, Ithaca Children's Garden is here to welcome every unique and beautiful child to come explore our three acres.
