Camp PlayWELL provides a fully-immersive, hands-on health-science experience within the unique environment of the Poe Center and its PlayWELL Park, the world's first health education playground.
Camp PlayWELL offers an immersive health-science experience where children actively engage in learning about healthy living. Each week features a different theme, focusing on areas such as nutrition, gardening, physical activity, mental health, body science, and community health. Campers participate in unique physical activities and games, hands-on activities that explain how body systems function, and nutrition themes that promote healthy lifestyles. They also explore the journey of food from farm to table and learn about organizations supporting food systems. Activities may include cooking their own foods, discovering how to grow produce, and exploring the Poe Center's interactive theaters and PlayWELL Park.
Through these experiences, children gain practical skills in cooking and gardening, develop a deeper understanding of human body systems, and learn to make informed choices for their overall well-being. The camp emphasizes learning by doing, fostering a safe and positive environment for campers to practice healthy habits that can last a lifetime.
A typical day includes hands-on health-science activities, high-energy games and movement in body-systems-themed teaching theaters, and outdoor play at PlayWELL Park.
This camp is ideal for rising 1st-5th graders who enjoy interactive learning and want to explore healthy habits through engaging activities and outdoor play.
