Summer Camps at The Scrap Exchange
**Now flexible to accommodate 7-12 year olds!**
The Scrap Exchange is excited to offer a series of weekly summer camps in 2015! Children are invited to participate as we develop young leaders, use our resources wisely, and learn hands-on creative skills – essentials in living an eco-smart life! Expect plenty of cooperation, celebration, and fun!
All materials are sourced from local partners participating in the reuse revolution. Find the schedule and price that works for your family. Upon registration, you will receive registration forms and more detailed information about camp. Please contact Wendy Ziegler at outreach@scrapexchange.org about scholarship opportunities or to inquire about before and after care.
Eco-Scouts
June 22-26
9:00am-4:00pm
Care for the earth! Young reducers, reusers, and recyclers unite to improve our environment. Build birdhouses, craft rain barrels, learn to compost with worms, and begin gardening in creative containers from the Scrap Exchange. Make your own explorer gear for outdoor adventures (weaving, knots, ropes, lashing). Observe and draw plants and wildlife, then blaze your town nature trail!
Camp Leader: Jan French
Jan French is a longtime resident of the Triangle who has earned local graduate degrees in Environmental Management and Landscape Architecture. She is a shade gardener, composter, manager of rain barrels, and creator of garden art. She is also a multi-fiber artist who spins, weaves, and felts natural and reclaimed materials. She has taught weaving for Durham Arts Council’s Creative Arts in Public & Private Schools (CAPS) program, United Arts Council’s Artists in Schools program, the Scrap Exchange’s Creative Classes, Duke University’s Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), and at local fiber festivals.
Camper Expectations
We expect all campers to arrive well-rested, nourished, and ready to participate and have fun! All campers will demonstrate respect towards staff members, fellow campers, and themselves while at the Scrap Exchange. Campers are expected to be kind to others and follow simple instructions. Although we pride ourselves on offering creative programs for most children, we recognize that the Scrap Exchange’s Summer Camp program may not offer appropriate support for all children, especially those with special medical, physical, behavioral, or social needs.
Attendance at Summer Camp is contingent upon meeting these expectations. There will be no refunds issued for campers that are asked to leave the Scrap Exchange due to behavioral problems or disobeying these policies.
Refund Policy
All withdrawal requests must be made in writing. Payments lost due to withdrawal cannot be forwarded to the next year’s camps or other programming.
