Heartwood Book Camp

Step into an unforgettable summer adventure at the Northwoods Forest History Experience at the North Lakeland Discovery Center! Young readers ages 9–12 are invited to join us for a week filled with hands-on activities inspired by the book Heartwood by Mary E. Burns. Throughout the week, campers will enjoy arts and crafts, history exploration, science activities, literature discussions, an author meet-and-greet, and even a special field trip.

Follow the adventures of Kelly, Evan, Ann, and Garth as they travel through time to help save the forests, bringing the story of Heartwood to life through interactive learning and discovery.

The camp will take place July 6–10 from 1:30–3:30 p.m. daily at the North Lakeland Discovery Center’s Northwoods Forest History Experience building.
