About the provider

Project HEAL (Human, Environmental, and Animal Links) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting children with nature. Its mission is to enrich the lives of children through experiences that provide meaningful interaction with the environment, deepen connection to community, and develop the human/animal bond. Project HEAL and Camp Creek Run were co-founded in 2003, and Camp Creek Run became the home of Project HEAL in 2003. In 2008, further conservation grant funding was awarded to preserve an adjacent 10 acre property. Camp Creek Run is a state-accredited summer day camp program.

The summer camp program runs for eight weeks. Children ages 4-12 can enjoy the full eight-week summer program or choose flexible camping sessions. Families register for the EcoKids spring, fall, and winter series for the season; no drop-ins. LEAF Club students must register for the whole series. Scout troop cost is $10 per child with a minimum of 10 children participating. Outreach program costs are on a sliding-fee scale.
