2026 Summer Programs
Our Summer Programs are designed for PK - elementary school children ages 4-11 years old and pre-teen - high school children ages 10-16.
These drop-off programs run for one week, Monday-Friday from 9 am to 2 pm.
Our programs take place on private property in an enriching play environment. Children engage their senses and experience the wonder of discovery while developing important skills.
While the specific outcomes may differ to some degree, several elements are key to all TerraTime outdoor experiences. These include spontaneous play, cooperative effort, self-awareness, social skills, motor planning, problem-solving, sensory integration, creativity, curiosity, self-reliance, belonging, empathy, and increased knowledge and appreciation of the natural environment.
Each day has a theme that is woven through each play prompt, loose parts, and materials. Children use natural and man-made materials to create, explore, and problem solve.
All of our programs are STEM inspired and filled with engaging play prompts that encourage creativity, movement, and child-driven learning.
We've designed a variety of NEW learning opportunities and made changes to the structure of our curriculum to better accommodate children who will be attending multiple weeks.
Your child will have new learning opportunities each week.

This summer, let your child’s imagination bloom outdoors! At TerraTime, children will create, build, and engineer using nature’s own materials—sticks, stones, leaves, and sunlight become the tools for discovery and design. Each day brings new opportunities to explore our TerraTime centers, learn alongside friends, and delight in the wonder of nature play and learning.
From hands-on nature art to open-ended STEM exploration, our summer programs inspire creativity, curiosity, and connection—all while having fun in nature.
“Over half way through the week and the kids just can’t get enough... they come home happy, dirty, and exhausted! It makes this Momma's heart very happy! Seriously, it is the best summer camp secret in Muncie. If you've never heard of it it's worth checking out!!”
