Camp Climateers
A camp to ignite the spirit of environmental change and action in your child.
Week of August 17 - August 21
Climate change is a very real and will have a huge impact on our future generations. We will look to local solutions to help create change for our future. After meeting area non profit leaders, we will explore ways we can make a greener & more cherished Madison. We will be highlighting the Madison Senior Center’s beekeeping program and speaking to a local beekeeper. Kids will go on a pollinator plant scavenger hunt and earn a pizza party! The kids will make projects of ways they can make a difference in their own homes and create a collage to help their families learn ways they can make better choices. Campers will make reusable grocery bags out of old t-shirts to bring home. Finally, we will end the week learning about fair trade by talking to local shop owners, and responsible and conscious shopping. Kids can even work to earn raffle tickets throughout the week for our Camper Only Summer Grand Prize Giveaway! This giveaway is to help encourage our campers to continue to do random acts of kindness for their communities and families/friends! Raffle tickets will be chosen September 1st for gift cards and other fun things like video consoles and more!
As a reminder, all camps have a choose your own adventure style feel. Campers can choose what projects they like based on their loves! In the afternoons, campers get to choose from a choice of stations that include arts, scratch computer programming, STEM/Science Projects, and culinary exploration or music stations. We will also do weekly excursions as listed below! All of our campers can win raffle tickets for a grand prize drawing we’ll have at the end of the summer.

Why choose Ignite Camps?
Communication. Community. Character Building.
Our intention. Unlike other local camps, our first and foremost goal is to create a camp that helps children become their best selves. We still do the fun stuff all the other camps do but everything from activities, projects, and games model positivity, empathy, gratitude and connection. We do daily gratitude journaling everyday to help reinforce the practice of appreciation. We want to prove that young kids can do BIG things!
Community Connection. We’ve created a program that highlights connection to our local Madison community. We want to raise awareness on ways that our children can be involved and garner excitement towards helping those in need.
Our programs. Not any aspect of our camp time is fillers. We spend hours consulting with experts in child development, empathy and gratitude growth mindset exploration.
Our counselors. Our camp counselors are chosen for their love of children. We hand pick and curate our staff and we keep our counselor to camper ratios at 1:10. Staff is chosen for their pursuit of excellence in working wiht children.
The Ignite Family. Once you become a part of Ignite, you become a cherished member of our community. Our Summer Camp kids are invited to FREE events throughout the year at Groove Madison. These events are meant to help support the knowledge they acquire at camp. The spirit of community will continue year round and these are only open to camp registrants.
