Artful Escape Day Camp (K-5th Grades)

Join us for a week of day camp fueled by creativity as campers express themselves through various forms of art like painting, sculpting, and nature-based crafts!  

Each Day Camp Session will include pool time and a variety of traditional camp activities like archery/slingshots, paddling, hiking and enjoying the outdoors with camp friends. Each day will begin with check-in from 8:00-8:30 AM. Campers will need to bring a packed lunch and snacks. The day will end with check-out between 4:00-5:00 PM.   

Each day camper will receive a Wonders of Welaka 2025 patch.   

Our camp property is overseen by our Camp Ranger who maintains security at the camp. The front gate is the only public entrance to camp and is locked at all times campers are on property. The Camp Ranger also maintains cameras that are set up around the property borders to monitor for trespassers and unauthorized guests.  

Your girl will be supervised by capable and supportive camp counselors that have been carefully vetted and background screened.  They cannot wait to meet your camper and share their enthusiasm for camp program!
