This phenomenal area provides the perfect playground for a whole plethora of outdoor, nature-based activities and games. Every activity is hands-on and geared toward getting kids outside to explore the outdoors in a fun, safe environment. The camp is run by Nature & You Outdoor Education staff, who have many years of experience working with children in an outdoor setting. Although many of the activities are outdoors and active, the days will also be structured with numerous low key activities and opportunities for food and rest to help kids pace themselves throughout the long, hot summer days.

Additional afternoon snacks including fresh baked goods will be provided. Program Highlights Throughout Each Week: Each day also includes outdoor games, and nature crafts.
