Outdoor Summer Day Camp
Nature Quest
Age groups: 5-7 years, 8-13 years
2-week camp
Campers will explore the world around them through hands on experiences in the great outdoors during this unique outdoor summer camp. Connecting to and fostering a love for the environment is the goal of this two-week camp where campers have hands on experience around eco systems, water conservation, pollution and many other topics. By witnessing the reciprocal relationship between the environment and us, campers have a chance to build their self-esteem, self-achievement and outdoor STEM skills like shelter building, orienteering, and archery to name a few!
Campers work through Nature Quest levels at their own pace. Campers will also experience other camp activities like active games, songs and camper group time all making for a unique and memorable camper experience.
