Resources for traveling families

We understand Earth Educators' Rendezvous participants may be traveling with children. Unfortunately, the Earth Educators' Rendezvous is unable to provide on-site child care. However, there are many summer camps* to do in Columbia for your child to attend during the Rendezvous.

Here are some of the great summer camp options that Columbia offers:

• USC offers youth and teen educational adventures designed for academically talented students grades 4-12.
• Riverbanks Zoo Camp offers unique and engaging experiences to connect kids with wildlife
