Folk Kids' Summer Daycamp

Week two of Folk Kids' Summer Daycamp at the Ozark Folk Center is designed for children ages 8 through 12 years-old who enjoy making things by-hand, learning with kids their age, and being in the great outdoors.

Daycamp includes five days of indoor and outdoor activities with Ozark Folk Center staff including hiking, making music, crafts and pizza, swimming each day, and a field trip to South Sylamore Creek and Blanchard Springs Rec. Area.

Parent(s) and guardian(s) must accompany their child on the first day of daycamp (Monday, July 24th) and turn in a signed photo release form and permission slip that grants permission to participate in the following activities:
