The camps are designed for children ages 3 through grade 8 to learn about their natural environment through hands-on interactive activities.

Small group sizes allow children to experience nature with personal direction from naturalists. Programs are developed by trained naturalists and focus on the local environment. The activities are intensely hands-on and are designed to foster an ethic of environmental appreciation and stewardship.
