Earth Camp is brought to you by a partnership with Muskingum Soil and Water Conservation District, Muskingum County Library System, and Ohio University Zanesville. We would like to send a special thanks to our sponsors Muskingum Valley Health Center for providing drawstring backpacks in 2024, 2025, and 2026. We are always looking for sponsors in order to keep this free. If you are interested in a sponsorship, please contact Carah Mladek at carah.mladek@muskingumswcd.org.
