Nature & Environmental Summer Day Camp Brochure & Registration Form

The Association's Nature and Environmental Summer Day Camp operates for six weeks every summer and is open to children entering first through ninth grades. For each age-specific camp session, our professional staff plans new and exciting activities such as stream explorations, tracking adventures, insect safaris, nature crafts, journaling, and play-oriented activities. Older campers will enjoy canoeing, backpacking, camping and night hikes.

Campers will explore fields or forests as if they were truly the frontier, experience encounters with nature's magic - a baby bird taking its first flight from its nest, salamanders hiding under streamside rocks, or dew drops lined up on the strands of a spider web. Using our 860-acre nature reserve of field, forest, pond and stream as a campus, our Nature and Environmental Summer Day Camp embraces and explores the wonders of nature not only as a critical component of childhood, but as an integral part of education in general. One goal of the camp is to connect the soul of the child with the heartbeat of the natural world. We also aim to provide children with a deeper understanding of the local ecology, the environment in general, and their place on the planet.

Our summer camp is an important part of a year-round environmental education program, where we aim to promote an understanding of and concern for the environment by increasing awareness and knowledge in a fun and exciting atmosphere.
