Exciting New Partnership with Microschool

We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new partnership that brings even more life, learning, and connection to our camp! This fall, Nature’s Gift at Nameless Creek Camp—a new tuition-free public charter school called the Indiana Microschool Collaborative—will open its doors right here on our grounds.

Led by Dr. George Philhower, superintendent of Eastern Hancock Schools, this innovative school is all about helping students learn in inviting, hands-on environments where curiosity leads the way. Instead of traditional classrooms, students will explore, discover, and grow in the natural world—right here at camp!

This unique collaboration supports our mission:

"To increase the appreciation of nature and the enjoyment of the outdoors by creating year-round recreational, educational, and camping opportunities for the youth, families, and communities of Hancock and surrounding counties."

We’re so proud to be part of a school that values the outdoors and understands that learning doesn’t have to happen behind four walls. Stay tuned—we can’t wait to share how the camp supports the school, and how the school brings new energy to the camp!

Together, we’re building something special for our community’s kids—and we’re just getting started.
