Fair Hill Nature Center Summer Camp

Fair Hill Nature Center Summer Camps include environmental education with ecosystems, water quality, insects, soil science, and hibernation curriculum. Campers meet and learn about animal ambassadors Jake, Kai, Axel, Ruby, Spot, and Bernate, visit animal ambassadors, explore the grounds, complete a nature scavenger hunt, and create a nature craft. The program also uses fishing poles, dip nets, binoculars, field guides, rocking chairs, and bug nets as part of its activities.
