Located in the heart of Raleigh, NC, the Poe Center’s fully-immersive summer camp is where health is “the heart” of the experience. Each week focuses on a different aspect of healthy living: nutrition, gardening, physical activity, mental health, body science, and community health. At Camp PlayWELL, kids don’t just hear about healthy habits, they experience and practice them.
Each week will incorporate unique physical activities and games, hands-on activities that explain how body systems function and connect, and nutrition themes that support healthy lifestyles. Campers will also explore how food travels from farm to table and learn about the organizations that support food systems.
Proceeds from Camp PlayWELL support the Poe Center’s non-profit mission to help North Carolinians lead healthier lives. When you send your child to a week of Camp PlayWELL, you are supporting the health-education of children across the state.
