A New Season at Camp – As we kick off camp, we’ll explore how nature transforms through the seasons and how we, too, can embrace change and growth. Campers will learn about seasonal cycles, the adaptations of plants and animals, and celebrate the start of our camp season.

Critters and Creatures – Meet the amazing animals that live around us and uncover their unique adaptations. Campers will learn about predators, prey, and everything in between.

Pollinator Palette – Explore the colorful world of pollinators and the art they inspire! From painting the vibrant patterns of butterflies to crafting bee-themed creations, campers will learn about the vital role of pollinators while expressing their creativity through various artistic mediums.

Water Wonders – Dive into the magic of water and its role in shaping the world. Campers will explore how water moves through rivers, lakes, and oceans, discovering its power and beauty while creating art and projects inspired by its flow, color, and life-giving properties.

Backyard Biologists – Become a backyard scientist and explore local ecosystems! Campers will study plants, animals, and insects, documenting their observations like real biologists.

Treetop Adventures – Take a closer look at life up high in the trees! Campers will learn about different types of trees, their ecosystems, and the animals that call them home.

Wild Weather Watchers – Dive into the wild and wacky world of weather! Campers will learn about clouds, rain, and sunshine while creating weather experiments and observing the sky.

Wind and Wings – Explore the creatures that soar through the sky. Campers will learn about birds, insects, and even try designing their own flying contraptions.

Tracking the Wild – Campers will step into the wild to discover the secrets of the natural world by observing their surroundings and reading the signs nature leaves behind. From animal tracks to changes in the landscape, they’ll uncover hidden stories and develop essential skills for exploring the wilderness.

S’more to Remember – As summer comes to a close, we’ll gather to celebrate the fun, friendships, and adventures that made this season unforgettable. Through stories, games, and reflection, we’ll create one last sweet memory to carry with us.
