Nature Discovery Camp
4th – 9th graders: Each week-long sessions is filled with explorations, demonstrations, field trips, a service project, healthy food, and nights under a starry sky. Your child will live outdoors, wade in creeks, tell stories around a campfire, ride a horse, go hiking, sleep in a tent, and explore nature. The cost is $25 per child for families who qualify.

Conservation Corps
10th-12th graders: Throughout this 12-day residential camp, Corps members learn valuable job skills while they participate in conservation projects for which they are paid a modest stipend.  They sleep in tents, take a two-night trip to a nearby study site and spend time exploring nature through recreation, environmental education and adventure trips.
