Heritage Explorers Summer Camp

Heritage Explorers is a hands-on history and outdoor enrichment camp for ages 6–14. Campers explore pioneer life through crafts, historical games, train and railroad experiences, farm tours, pony and train rides, splash-pad time, and other activities around the park. Snacks are included, and Friday sessions feature pizza.

What to bring

Campers should pack lunch, a water bottle, sunscreen, closed-toe shoes, and clothing appropriate for the weather. The program advertises low camper-to-staff ratios, CPR/First Aid-certified staff, structured supervision, outdoor safety procedures, and secure check-in and checkout.

Registration begins with a Brightwheel enrollment request. Staff review the requested week and age-group availability before approval. Approved families must complete emergency, medical/allergy, pickup-authorization, photo-release, policy, and other enrollment forms. A place is not reserved until approval, required forms, and the first payment are received. Questions may be directed to camp director Brittany Rogers at 385-441-8011 or Brogers@thisistheplace.org.
