Day Camps at UUS!
WE ARE OPEN TO EVERYONE
Finding fun day camps for your kids that incorporate fun and inclusive activities and learning opportunities has never been easier! The Unitarian Universalist Society in Coralville, Iowa offers day camps throughout the spring and summer for kids of all ages. Families love sending their children to a day camp that fosters a creative spirit, encourages exploration, and is a great time! While honoring the earth, building deeper connections, and social justice are all part of Unitarian Universalist shared mission and principles, our camps are not religious and we are open to everyone.

2025 Upcoming Summer Day Camps!
Nature and Peace Camps are open for emerging kindergarteners through 6th grade. Our musical theater camps are open to emerging kindergarteners through age 17. While camps at UUS support our mission and vision by honoring the Earth, working toward social justice, and building deep connections within our community, our camps are secular and open to everyone.
More information will be coming soon and registration opens January 1st. Please feel free to contact our director Nic Kaplan at education@uusic.org with any questions.
Nature Camp
JUNE 2025
Nature Camp at UUS is full of opportunities for child-led exploration of our woods, bioswales, Mud Creek, container pond, boulder scramble, and more! Children spend their time outside climbing trees, turning over logs, exploring nature guides, creating games, and learning about the world around them. We find ways to stay outside and active whether the sun is shining or the rain is creating glorious mud puddles.
Peace Camp
JULY 2025
During Peace Camp, we learn ways to find peace within us by practicing a variety of skills that promote inner peace. We also explore several social justice issues at a level appropriate for children while practicing skills that help us achieve interpersonal peace.
Musical Theater Camps
JULY and AUGUST 2025
Our theater camps are two-week long camps that each end in a performance. Campers spend time playing theater games, learning about stage direction, auditioning, singing, dancing, creating props and backdrops, and more! Each camper has a role in the performance. This coming year, we plan to have three, 2-week theater camps. Our July theater camp will perform Lion King Kids! In August, our campers will perform Willy Wonka Kids and 101 Dalmations Kids on Fridays August 8th and 22nd respectively.
