Religious Exploration for Children & Youth

Camp Registration is Still Open!

Click here to register through May 1st.

Our camp is run by our amazing childcare provider and art educator, Courtney Smith, along with several of our wonderful childcare staff and RE volunteers.

Join us for a weeklong wonderland of creativity, curiosity, and play! Campers will create art in several mediums, explore ways to co-create through collaborative processes and use artistic expression as a way to reimagine the future. Creative Exploration Under the Pyramid is a place where children are valued as whole beings and seen as a vital part of our world. Camp is open to the children of non-member families, so your child can bring a friend!

For our creative campers in middle and high school who are looking for a leadership role, we will also be offering Creative Leaders in Training. CLTs will assist with our camp while serving as role models and gaining valuable leadership skills.

DATES: Monday, June 8th thru Friday, June 12th from 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.

If you have any questions or run into difficulties, please email carley@uuathensga.org.
