Dandelion Camp @ FDR Week 2: July 14- 18

Young people aged 5-10 will join us at FDR Park for entirely outdoors summer camp programming! Environmental stewardship is at our core, and we are thrilled to offer Philadelphia families two exciting and unique weeks of summer camp that center this value in fun and engaging ways. From shelter building, to lake observation, to collaborative games and cool off activities, we know how to have summer fun in the park! At the Dandelion Project we have a deep respect for young people, which means that young people are empowered to make decisions about how they spend their time throughout the day!

To note: We are an entirely outdoors camp! In the event of rain, we will alter our daily activities to enjoy the wet weather more fully. We will not move indoors, cancel or refund camp. Additionally, we are committed to helping campers  understand the Health & Safety rules at Dandelion Camp and are thoughtful about all the ways we support campers in helping to keep themselves safe. We do need campers to reliably and consistently uphold the rule to stay in the camp boundary, which is clearly marked and monitored. If a young person repeatedly and intentionally leaves the camp boundaries, we might have to unenroll the camper:(
