Our Ewalu Summer Camp Open House if for parents and kids to come to camp and “kick the tires”! Take a guided tour and step inside cabins and structures to see where campers sleep. Meet some of our summer staff, and ask questions about anything at all! We’ll also have a campfire and some treats, and the Camp Store will be open to take a look at what we’ll have for the 2025 season. We’ll even have a little something fun for you to take home! No RSVP needed, just stop by at the Creation Center anytime from 1 to 4 PM on Saturday, May 10. Details: www.ewalu.org/open-house
Join volunteers, families, and church groups to help Ewalu get ready for the summer season. We’ll have projects from 9 AM to 4 PM, but come and stay as your day allows. Come early for some breakfast, and we’ll have cold lunch, too! Projects for all ages and abilities. Details: www.ewalu.org/spring-work-day
The Wild Driftless Adventure Race will take you into some of the most scenic areas of NE Iowa, featuring trekking, biking, and paddling for teams of 2-4 or soloists.
