About the provider

Parents or guardians are responsible for daily pick-up and drop-off of campers to the Olewine Nature Center. Campers must bring their own food, and they must be the specified age by the start of their week of camp. All camper registration information is gathered upon purchase, and an email with details is sent 2 weeks before the child’s scheduled week of camp. Camps fill quickly because space is limited, and registration is limited to one week because activities and topics are repeated.
