Goals
For 27 years our goal has been to help children understand through observation, enjoy through discovery, and appreciate through personal involvement, our natural history.

Program
Campers will be encouraged to explore their surroundings, develop their awareness of our natural world, and learn about the interrelationship of all living things. Pond, stream and river life, field and woodland ecology, and crafts and games will be introduces in an informal noncompetitive atmosphere.

Transportation
Transportation is the responsibility of the parents. Lists of campers will be provided to make car-pooling easy.

Enrollment
Enrollment will be limited to 24 children, whose ages correspond with children entering grades 3rd through 6th grades, approximately 8 yrs-11 yrs. There will be one counselor for every 6 children.

Equipment
The program is active and primarily outdoors. Clothing should be comfortable, practical, well-worn, and suitable for the weather. Campers should bring their own lunch and beverages. A mid-morning snack is suggested. Please, think healthy, both for your child and the environment.
