Join us for our Food Drive!

Tomorrow, we are excited to welcome a special guest from the YWCA of Evansville, who will share how their organization supports local families. To put our learning into action, we're hosting a food drive to benefit the YWCA of Evansville and the Evansville Rescue Mission.

Every donation—big or small—helps provide meals and hope to members of our community. Thank you for helping our campers learn that serving others is one of the most meaningful pathways to purpose!

🎩✨ A Spoonful of Fun was the perfect recipe for an unforgettable week with our Rising Eagles! 🎶
Campers stepped into the world of music and theater as they learned songs, dances, and scenes inspired by Evansville Day School’s spring musical, Mary Poppins. From practicing choreography to creating their own songs, campers spent the week exploring their creativity and discovering their inner performers. 🌂🎤
Our Rising Eagles in grades 1–8 had the chance to learn from our special guest, Jubilee, who helped campers explore songwriting and the magic of music. Our Kindergarten campers enjoyed a visit from local storyteller, Susan Fowler, who shared stories that connected to the song “Jolly Holiday” from Mary Poppins. ✨
The fun continued with Mary Poppins-themed activities, crafts, and even a few magical tea parties! ☕
The week ended with a special performance in the Heekin Gymnasium, where campers from Rising to Soaring Eagles shared the songs, dances, and lines they had worked so hard to learn with family and friends.
What a magical week full of creativity, confidence, and memories made!

🎸🎶 Our Eaglets had a rockin’ time during Week 2 of Summer Academy: Mini Music Fest!
It was a week full of creativity, imagination, and fun as our little musicians explored the world of music. They created their own instruments, became rock stars, and learned all about the guitar from our special guest, Jon! 🎤✨
Even the rainy days brought extra fun as they splashed and played in the puddles, and the sunny moments were filled with playground adventures, arts and crafts, and lots of smiles.
What a fun week of making memories, discovering new talents, and celebrating music! 🌟
