Museum School parents, students, and teachers may be familiar with Camp Scene Environmental Adventures from their auction donation and their nature-based summer camp and school break camp programs in Decatur since 2010. Now, they are hoping to bring After-School Camp to TMS for students to explore nature and experience the outdoors.
With a minimum number of enrolled students in grades K-5, a camp bus will pick up TMS students at the end of the school day. The 2-day program (Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday) includes one nature hike field trip and one outdoor-themed interest club at their Weekes Street location. The 3-day program adds an outdoor skill field trip on Fridays, such as geocaching, nature photography, disc golf, indoor rock climbing ($20 fee per Stone Summit trip), and several options found here.
On-site clubs include gardening & chickens, nature art & crafts, nature exploration, eco-sports, nature theater, nature yoga, nature woodworking ($75 semester fee), and eco-engineers (for 3rd grade and up).
Some details:
-
Hours: Camp pickup at TMS from 3:10-3:25 p.m. Parent pickup by 6 p.m. at camp (227 Weekes Street in Decatur, off East College Avenue).
-
Cost: $235 per month for two days and $350 per month for three days. A few clubs have additional fees, which will be noted in registration.
If you’re interested, call or text Owner/Director Scott Seitz at 404-502-3196 or email office@campscene. Registration will open with a confirmed number of families — at least 10 who are committed to enroll. Start dates could begin in November. Families who are enrolled and paid also could choose to begin in December or January.
