ECR- Ely Community Resource Making Ely a Great Place to Grow Up!

06/04/2026

School just got out, but we're already preparing for fall.

Registration is now open for the 26th Annual Greenstone Art Camp.

As Ely transitions to a four-day school week, Greenstone Art Camp is evolving to meet the needs of local families with four Friday mornings of hands-on visual arts programming for students in grades 1–6.

2026 Greenstone Art Camp

October 2, 9, 23 & 3010:00 AM–12:00 PM

$100 per participant

Limited to 20 students

Limited scholarships available

For more than 25 years, Greenstone Art Camp has helped young artists build confidence, develop creative skills, and discover the joy of making art. Participants will create original projects, explore a variety of artistic techniques and materials, and learn from local artists and volunteers in a welcoming environment.

This program requires a minimum of 10 participants to operate, with enrollment confirmation on September 1.

If your child enjoys creating, exploring, and making things with their hands, we'd love to have them join us this fall.

Registration is now open. Reserve your spot today.

🚵‍♀️Another Great Bike Club!🚵

The ECR Bike Club just wrapped up its spring session and it was such a cool community event! They had 8 adult coaches, 7 JH/HS helpers, and 17 registered elementary kids learning how to mountain bike on the Hidden Valley trails. The kids had a blast! Keep an eye out for fall bike club in September!
