Green Project Camp

Green Project Camp, a unique summer program, offered through the Patton College of Education's Stevens Literacy Center and University College, is designed to educate and empower children ages 6-12 about environmental conservation and climate change.

Through hands-on activities and immersive experiences, participants will learn about the significance of environmental stewardship and how they can positively impact our planet. Patton College and University College faculty and students will actively participate in the camp planning and programming.

Field trips and experiential learning opportunities outside the Stevens Literacy Center will be organized as frequently as possible, further enhancing the campers’ understanding of environmental conservation.

The camp typically runs through June and is based out of the Stevens Literacy Center in Patton Hall. Participants may register for all four weeks at a discounted price or just register for individual weeks.
