Camp Description:
Young children visit eyeball-to-eyeball with live animals, explore knee-deep in the ponds, discover what’s under every log and sing about salamanders. Changing age-tailored nature themes feature hikes, outdoor exploration, crafts, songs and games to unlock the secrets of ecological magic. Older students snorkel, whale-watch, bike, raft, ride horseback, rock climb and rappel, canoe and camp out.
