Where every camper learns to soar

Camp Kids is an extended learning experience built around hand-drawn characters, a treasure map of four islands, and a classroom philosophy that moves young learners from literal to figurative thinking — and leaves them loving the journey.

"If you can activate and captivate a child's soul and spirit, that then becomes the glue in which everything meaningful sticks and stays." — Debby Moore · Educator, Artist & Creator of Camp Kids

The Heart Behind Camp Kids

Born in a Classroom,
Built for a Lifetime

Camp Kids grew out of a real classroom in Franklin, Tennessee, where educator and artist Debby Moore transformed her space into a full campsite — complete with characters, a treasure map, and an adventure that made young learners owners of their own learning.

What started as a creative teaching environment became something far bigger: a complete framework for social and emotional learning that moves young minds from literal to figurative thinking, from self-focused to community-minded, from reactive to emotionally equipped.

Every character Debby drew, every island she named, every workbook she designed carries the same conviction — that if you can captivate a child's soul, everything meaningful will stick and stay.
