School-Days-Off Camps: Where Days Off Become Days of Discovery

When Schools Are Closed, Stroud Water Research Center Is Open for Young Nature Explorers

Our School-Days-Off Camp invites third- through fifth-grade students to spend a fun-filled day outdoors along White Clay Creek. Each day features a unique theme with nature-inspired crafts, hands-on science experiments, and outdoor adventures that spark curiosity and wonder.
