Use your imagination to design, create, and build projects to help wildlife. Let nature inspire your designs as we look at how plants and animals survive and thrive in their environments.

Campers embark on daily nature adventures as they explore trails, outdoor play areas, trees, and more! Each week features our live animal ambassadors. Camp topics are reinforced through games, art projects, and hands-on activities. In addition to scheduled activities, campers are given supervised free time to experience nature on their own.

Campers will also receive a camp t-shirt and camp group photo each week. Campers attending multiple weeks may exchange t-shirt for another available item.

Dates:  June 22 - June 25, 2026
