Summer Day Camp is loads of fun for our Tumble Bugs of Chalk. We spend our time with these kiddos in all areas of the Chalk School of Movement Campus in Odell Oregon. We work on our gymnastics and tumbling skills, play games, work on various arts and crafts projects and enjoy open/free play time each day. Our Tumble Bugs spend lots of time outdoors and also enjoy the trampolines, craft areas, gymnastics floor and parkour circuits. Our counselors love kids and love having fun! They provide a positive and friendly atmosphere at our summer camps for kids by focusing on individual attention, positive group interaction and cooperation. Our kids have a blast and we keep it fun (and safe!) by maintaining a low camper to counselor ratio of 1:8 or less or 2:12 depending on group size. This year, our camp themes are focussing on various fun ways to introduce many of the arts to our campers. They’ll experience painting, drawing, ceramics, sculpture, poetry, collage, theater, fiber arts and sewing, and performance arts over the summer of 2023!

We focus on survival skills, bushcraft, ninja warrior adventures and get our Gorge kids out and about learning about the world and having a great time moving through space creatively and thoughtfully. All of our 2023 programs make space for exercise, learning new skills and concepts, reflecting, play and adventure.
