Wings and Things Day Camp 2023

Fly into this one-week day camp! This year, your day camper will learn about butterflies, ladybugs, and other winged creatures! Not only that, they will learn how these magnificent creatures affect their environment and how we can keep that environment green and healthy! Camp is for girls entering 1-6th grade in the fall of 2023. Girls entering grades 7-12th in the fall of 2023 participate as caddies. We also will need volunteers to help camp run smoothly.  

Wings and Things Day Camp will take place July 24-28th 2023 at Camp Lakamaga. Busses will pick up in Oakdale at 8:00am and return ~5:45pm. Girls entering 2nd grade in the fall of 2023 and up may participate in an overnight Thursday evening.
