List of 5 items.

  • Monday: Backyard Explorers

    Campers will step into Ancona’s own “backyard”, exploring nature trails, observing bugs and birds, and turning small discoveries into big excitement. With magnifying glasses, sketchbooks, and plenty of imagination, we’ll learn how even the tiniest parts of nature tell amazing stories.

    Expect muddy shoes, happy faces, and lots of “guess what I found!” moments. Campers might build mini habitats, create leaf art, or design their own explorer badges to celebrate their discoveries. It’s a day that invites curiosity to run wild, because every great adventure starts right in your own backyard!
  • Tuesday: Color Explosion

    Campers will dive into projects that let them paint, mix, swirl, and splash their imaginations across every surface. From tie-dye and spin art to colorful science experiments and collaborative murals, the day will be bursting with creativity and fun.

    Expect vibrant hands, big smiles, and masterpieces you’ll want to hang on the fridge forever. Campers will experiment with color mixing, learn how light and pigment play together, and discover that art isn’t about being perfect—it’s about expressing yourself in living color!
  • Wednesday: Superhero Academy

    Through creative games and challenges, campers will learn that real heroes use kindness, courage, and teamwork to make the world better.

    Campers might build obstacle courses to test their “super strength,” design logos and masks, or work together to solve “mystery missions” around camp. Expect plenty of action, laughter, and inspiring moments as every camper discovers their inner hero. Because at Superhero Academy, everyone has a power worth celebrating!
  • Thursday: Around the World

    Each activity is a “stop” on our global adventure, celebrating traditions and creativity from around the world.

    Campers might make paper lanterns from Asia, learn a dance from Latin America, taste a new international snack, or create flags that represent places they’d love to visit. It’s a day of discovery, connection, and appreciation for the big, beautiful world we share: no airplane required!
  • Friday: Ancona Olympics & Farewell

    From relay races and tug-of-war to silly games and creative contests, everyone will have a chance to shine and cheer each other on.
    After the games, we’ll gather for a joyful farewell, sharing highlights from the week, favorite memories, and maybe a few surprise awards! It’s a day filled with teamwork, pride, and the kind of fun that reminds us how special our Ancona community really is.
