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.
