Educational Camps, Clubs & Events

Camp Wyoming is a Christian summer camp located in Eastern Iowa, just one hour from Dubuque. We have camp programs for kids in grades K-12. This is the perfect opportunity to get your kids away from their phones and active this summer.

Prepare to enjoy animals of all shapes and sizes from around the world through this year’s Kinder-Kamp! Campers will encounter live animals and their habitats, explore nature, make crafts, and experience the underwater world of our newest exhibit, Splash and Bubbles!

The YMCA offers before and after-school care at the following elementary schools; Bryant, Carver, Eisenhower, Irving, Kennedy, and Table Mound. We would like to open at Hoover and Sageville (pending enrollment) fill out the packets and return to the YMCA :)

How is the color blue formed? Much of art’s history comes from nature and science. During this session, campers will investigate the history and evolution of how a variety of art forms were created. Then they will discover how animals use creativity in the form of communication.

The purpose of the flyer is to promote Dubuque County 4-H! 4-H is for all youth in Dubuque County, grades 4th-12th. K-3rd graders can join 4-H through our Clover Kids program. 4-H is great way for youth to get involved in the community, gain skills they will use throughout their lives, and have fun!

Each day, campers will solve challenges using basic materials, tips from world famous inventors, and their minds. Learn about famous inventors and how their “crazy” inventions changed the world. Campers will experiment with designing and bringing their great ideas and inventions to life.

Your kids won’t stop talking about the fun classes and crazy experiments they will participate in during this week-long camp. Classes introduce kids to new ideas and concepts in a fun and interactive way. Kids on Campus provides a positive, creative learning environment everyone will enjoy!

We are bringing back one of our most popular camps! Campers will explore the world of animal care through discovering how to manage animal diets, animal habitats, animal enrichment and other husbandry practices. By the end of the week, campers will help our educators lead an ambassador presentation.

Become citizen scientists through firsthand interaction with our mussel propagation, fishing, and paddling right outside in the Ice Harbor! We’ll track Monarch Butterflies and talk about bees, insects, and mayflies. Campers will sleep overnight among the aquariums and take part in other adventures.

“Hook, Line and Sinker” isn’t just a saying, it’s all about fishing! Campers will fish, learn about their catch, and explore the proper equipment needed to catch the BIG ONE. We’ll explore fishing techniques of the past and present. From finding our own bait to cooking what we catch.
