Join us for a week full of creativity, exploration, and hands-on fun! Throughout the camp, artists will experiment with a wide range of materials and techniques — from lots of painting and mixed-media collage to three-dimensional creations and large-scale artworks. We’ll work individually and collaboratively, learning how to share ideas and create together. There will be moments to get messy and bold, and also quiet, focused time for careful observation and intentional drawing. A joyful balance of expression, teamwork, and mindful creativity. The week wraps up with a casual gallery-style showcase where families can walk through and celebrate the students’ creative art pieces together.

This camp will give kids of all ages chances to explore acting, storytelling, learning how to respond to other actors in an improv scenario, and more! This camp will be balanced between opportunities for the kids to learn about improvisation and humor, chances to experience quality storytelling with special guests, and to tell their own stories. There will also be a good mix of break time for them to have their own time to enjoy our playground and to play with friends.

This camp will focus on how we record our voice and our stories! Campers will have opportunities to record stories audibly! Storytelling will be accompanied by creative exploration of how to create sound effects to enhance their production. Field trips and special guests will bring even more knowledge and insight on how stories are shared through podcasts, radio, audiobooks, and more!

This camp will take several field trips in and around Monroe County to find highlights in local and state history, while also giving students a chance to explore and have fun! Kids will visit local landmarks and historical locations, while also visiting lesser known museums and local exhibits to discover new and interesting facts about our local area. Field trips will blend educational moments into summery fun! Your kids will come home daily with great little known facts about our local area to share with you!

As NASA has been building up to a return to space missions, we too will embark on our own week of space themed science and exploration! This week will feature a lot of great hands-on activities to explore what life is like for astronauts on the space station and also traveling on missions to the moon and beyond! This multi-modal exploration of space will involve learners of all types!

Field trips are always a great way to spend a summer day, and this week will not disappoint! Kids will be treated to adventure indoors and out, and lots of opportunities to splash in water! Field trips will venture beyond our city and campers will have opportunities to explore new locations and experiences each day of the week.

Outdoor adventures will blend some of the greatest hits of our Wilderness Exploration Camps and Field Trip Camps of 2025, with new field trips and activities sprinkled throughout! Kids will be in water most days… because It’s July! Fishing, Hiking, Kickball, Swimming, Splash Pads, Frisbee, and more! Each day will be a new, unique adventure to give kids a great mid summer week of fun with friends!

Our annual Circus Camp is back again! Our circus expert Ann will be bringing back juggling, plate spinning, devil sticks, diablos, stilt walking, acrobatics, clown acts, and more! This camp will culminate with a big Circus performance including a Midway where the kids can learn all about what it takes to be a successful Midway Businessperson! Be prepared to be amazed at the Circus where you’ll see amazing feats performed by our campers on Thursday, July 30th! This is a two week camp, so you’ll be signing up for both weeks. If for some reason you cannot attend both weeks, but do want to be a part please contact [email protected] so that we can provide a one week rate for you.

We will be inviting kids to turn their ideas into real, touchable creations as they explore hands-on projects. Campers will learn basic design concepts like balance, texture, and form while experimenting with building techniques and simple sketch-to-sculpture planning. Guided by supportive instructors, they’ll practice problem-solving, collaboration, and creative risk-taking as they create both quick, playful pieces and an art piece to take home. The week wraps up with a casual gallery-style showcase where families can walk through and celebrate the students’ three-dimensional masterpieces together.

Zevon Adkisson

is from Rockport, Indiana where he lived until moving to Bloomington in 2008 to attend Indiana University for Mathematics and Mathematics Education. Zevon grew up playing baseball, fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, and exploring the outdoors with friends and family. He was a 21st Century Scholar allowing him the opportunity to attend IU and received his Bachelor’s Degree in Math and Math Education. While in college, Zevon observed and student-taught in the Middle School for a few years before graduating. After graduating from IU, he taught as a substitute teacher in the Monroe County Public School System before getting a job as one of the co-teachers in Harmony’s 5th & 6th Grade Class. After more than a decade of co-leading the 5th and 6th Grade Class, Zevon became Harmony’s Middle School Coordinator and the Mathematics teacher. Outside of school, Zevon is an avid disc golfer, playing other sports, cheering on the Atlanta Braves, hiking, fishing, reading, and spending time with his lovely family.

Elaine Bonadies

is one of the K-2 teachers at Harmony during the school year, but during the summer often teaches summer camps in her free time.  She’s been teaching summer camps most of the last 20 years for a variety of organizations!  She’s taught summer and breaks-from-school camps for the YMCA of Greater Indianapolis, for MCCSC, for Lawrence Township, for Wonderlab, and for Harmony school!  These summer camp experiences have given Elaine chances to explore areas of exploration and education that she isn’t always able to explore within the day to day teachings in her classroom, and she enjoys having these opportunities to expand her knowledge and to bring new levels of excitement and enrichment to students she is lucky enough to work with in these more relaxed environments.

Ann Dorwin

A Bloomington native, I graduated from Indiana University with degrees in Applied Health Sciences and Psychological & Brain Sciences. Logically, I put all that higher education to good use by running off to join the circus and spent the next few decades touring with traditional shows across the globe, working as a performing artist and artistic director. My experience as a working professional athlete provides me with some unique insight into functional kinesiology and athletic performance, not to mention a well developed sense of humor!  Although retired from circus performance and travel, I now use my degree and many certifications I’ve acquired since attending IU to work in health and healing of the whole person, across the lifespan; because the world is a better place when we feel like our better selves!

Gloria Manzanares Romero

was born in Madrid, Spain. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts in her home country and a Master of Arts in Dusseldorf, Germany, where she lived and worked for nine years. She moved to Bloomington in 2019, where she has found a welcoming and diverse community. She comes from a family of teachers and has been teaching Arts and Spanish in different contexts, building in parallel her two passions: art and education. In addition to teaching and painting, Gloria enjoys her time surrounded by friends and family.

Dustin Blankenship

Devin has been an educator for 20 years, teaching humanities, filmmaking, ESL, entrepreneurship, theater, and career education in both the U.S. and abroad. He holds a Master of Leadership Development from Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and a BSEd from Indiana University, with licenses in Gifted & Talented Education, English-as-a-Second Language, English Language Arts, Social Studies, Speech, and Theater. A 2020 IU SDG Global Education Curriculum Development Fellow, he is passionate about leadership, storytelling, and making history come alive. He also leads international travel programs, taking students and adults to Greece, Japan, Brazil, and Argentina. Devin enjoys watching students take ownership of their learning and explore the world.
