Earth Adventure Camp

A Creative, Joyful April Vacation Camp for Kids

April 20–24 | 8:30 – 3:00 PM

Hosted by: Jeudevine Music School in collaboration with Greensboro United Church of Christ, with support from local artists and community partners.

Looking for a fun, meaningful, and well-rounded April vacation experience for your child? Earth Adventure Camp offers a full week of music, movement, art, and outdoor exploration in a welcoming, inclusive environment where kids can learn, connect, and thrive while school is out.

Designed for elementary-age children, camp days balance creative expression, active play, and calm connection—giving kids space to try new things, build friendships, and enjoy being kids.

Who It’s For

  • Children in Grades 1–6

  • Open to the wider community

Daily Camp Experience

Each day includes a mix of structured activities and playful flexibility, allowing kids to follow their interests while staying engaged and supported.

Activities include:

  • Arts & crafts

  • Outdoor exploration and nature play

  • Caribbean steel drums (with a final performance!)

  • Yoga & tumbling

  • Singing and songwriting

  • Earth Day–inspired activities

  • Games and creative play

Because Earth Day falls during camp week, we’ll incorporate nature-based learning, outdoor activities, music, and creative projects that help children build curiosity, care, and respect for the world around them.

Artist-in-Residence Highlight

Throughout the week, campers will work with Emily Lanxner as our artist-in-residence. Emily will guide children in hands-on Caribbean steel drum (steelpan) instruction, helping them explore rhythm, listening, teamwork, and musical expression. Campers will build skills and confidence each day as they practice together, culminating in a joyful final performance at the end of the week.
