Our day camp is a fantastic way to start a summer camp tradition where each week, she'll enjoy an exciting theme, try new things while earning a badge or fun patch, visit camp on a field trip, and go on adventures with new friends.
Camp Merrie Woode is a home away from home for our Kalamazoo Day Camp! Day Campers travel from the Kalamazoo Regional Center to Camp Merrie Woode for a field trip each week to enjoy the great outdoors!
This year, we are offering two Day Camp Takeover sessions hosted at Camp Merrie Woode, as well as added Day Camp Equestrian Camp offerings!
Embrace your inner explorer! This week, we are going to get wild! Girls will learn fun facts about plants and animals, make a beautiful nature collage from camp materials, and go on a nature treasure hunt to find the elusive Golden Trefoil.
Don't try this at home; try it at camp! Is there a perfect temperature to roast a marshmallow? Can a Lemon-Up conduct electricity? Which Girl Scout Cookie makes the best s'more? Using the scientific method, girls will get to these questions and more to the test with a week full of science, snacks, and fun!
Who rules the world? Girls! Take over the Kalamazoo Regional Center for 2 days and Camp Merrie Woode for 2 days! Girls will get to eat cookies in the board room, decorate Harriet Hall with their artwork, and get a chance to meet members of our executive team!
Join us in a world full of dragons, unicorns, and mythical beings. During this week, girls will get to design their princess castle, joust with pool noodles, and look for the legendary Tajar at Camp Merrie Woode!
Science, Engineering, and Math, Oh my! Find out how STEM fits into your everyday life! Girls will explore the science of food, use engineering techniques to build forts, and practice making a budget for a stuffed animal tea party.
Take over Camp Merrie Woode! Get a taste of what Camp Merrie Woode has to offer! Girls will have a chance to experience the magic of camp, from climbing the rock wall and swimming in Lake Warner to trying their hands at slingshots and archery.
Campers are Calling the Shots! Show the world your creativity! This week, girls will learn the basics of storytelling and acting before becoming the stars of their show. They can create a mini-movie, play, dance routine, or creative performance!
Send off summer with a splash! Water Week is back by popular demand! Girls will play water games, learn about their part in the water cycle, and swim in the lake at Camp Merrie Woode!
