About
We are dedicated to empowering children to become the next generation of environmental stewards through learner-directed, evidence-based nature play experiences in an inclusive and accessible camp community.
No two camp days are the same. Camp counselors do their best to follow camper interests while selecting each day’s activities from our camp curricula; there is always variety. However, there are some things campers can count on:
During Conservation Camp, campers will adventure through the amazing world of animals. Each week campers will explore themes designed to inspire a love of wildlife and ignite curiosity about the natural world. Along the way, they will spend time with their peers, discover how to overcome challenges, and build empathy for the natural world and for one another.
