Storytime Explorer's Camp

At Storytime Explorers Camp, children will explore stories with Professor Watermelon. Each day will have a different theme and start with a story our campers engage with through puppets, songs, and dancing.

The campers then create their own stories through imaginative play and art, guided by Professor Watermelon and using the real-life storybook setting of the James Whitcomb Riley Museum Home and gardens as inspiration. The unique setting adds a touch of magic to this memorable summer camp experience.

Who: Limited to children going into Kindergarten through going into 2nd grade. Campers must be fully potty-trained to attend.

When: June 11, 12 and 13 from 9am-12pm.

Where: 528 Lockerbie St., Indianapolis, IN 46202

What: Campers will start each day with a highly interactive story time then transition into activities and imaginative play all themed around the story of the day.
