Youth Summer Day Camp
Wellspring’s Youth Summer Day Camp is where it all began for Wellspring over 55 years ago and we’re still going strong. This free 6-week ‘Camp’ is a summer highlight for hundreds of Fort Wayne families where we welcome children Pre-K through 7th grade Mondays through Fridays from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
Why are summer camps like ours important?
While other organizations offer summer experiences to Fort Wayne youth, Wellspring is one of the only free opportunities in the area. To ensure access, we not only offer the Camp at absolutely no charge, we provide free transportation by school buses (contracted through FWCS), which more than half of our youth rely on.
Daily activities include:
Reading
Arts/crafts
Music
Yoga
Dance
Field trips
Guest speakers
Library visits
Recreational games
Each group is professionally staffed by Wellspring. Roving instructors on dance, music and yoga also meet weekly with youth.
Groups are divided by grade and are hosted at various locations suitable for large groups of children.

David made a personal connection with campers and took his role as a mentor seriously; he believed in the power of camping to positively influence kids and help them build successful lives. The David B. McCracken Wellspring Camp Endowment helps us ensure that children in Fort Wayne benefit from an enriching camp experience.
