2021 Summer Offerings! | thewatershed.org

We’re happy to announce that our Watershed Nature Camp will be offered in Summer 2021. While there will be modifications because of COVID-19, we plan to deliver most of the elements of our traditional nature camp. We will spend all day outside exploring the Watershed Reserve, catching bugs, splashing in streams, building shelters, and enjoying our time together.

We are confident that we can provide the necessary safety precautions to run our day camp safely this summer, building on the many experiences of successful Family Camp from Summer 2020, state guidelines issued last summer, and from experiences of our other in-person programs during the pandemic that were run in a safe and socially distanced fashion.

Please mark your calendars for registration opening in mid-January and join us for Summer 2021!

Family Camp

Our Watershed Family Camp will be one-day and two-day programs, running 2.5 hours in the morning and afternoon for parents and their children. Groups will be limited to approximately 10 people, with two Watershed staff instructing from an appropriately safe distance.

Family Campers will enjoy similar water, nature, and outdoor skills and crafts themes as those previously offered at the Watershed Nature Camp.

Backyard Odyssey

Backyard Odyssey includes two different take-home kits full of fabulous activities to engage children in nature-based play. Have an adventure in your own backyard or local park.

Kits will contain instructions, supplies, and equipment for a week’s worth of outdoor fun, as well as a few indoor activities for stormy days.

Our Promise to You!

While we can’t replicate our traditional course offerings this summer, we will do everything we can to make this a safe, fun and affordable activity for you, your family and friends.

We’ve done our best to price these offerings reasonably and we invite you to contribute what is affordable while helping The Watershed Institute exist without our revenues from our usual slate of programming and activities.
