18 diverse biological communities, years of teaching experience, sunshine, nature … need we say more?

Appreciation of nature learned through childhood experiences has lifelong value.  It helps produce well-rounded, educated kids who understand their environment and their impact on it.

Hands-on environmental exploration where kiddos ask questions about the natural world, uncover evidence at their fingertips and draw conclusions based on personal experience.

We survive on donations; it’s why we’re a nonprofit. That means we charge what we do so we can cover costs of putting together these amazing nature-based camps and have professional, caring, phenomenal teachers on our staff.  Any money we make goes back into trails, oak savanna restoration, forest preservation and more. You are not supporting us; you are supporting nature!

“They loved camp so much. Being in the creek and catching frogs/crayfish, etc. was amazing for him. He will be back!”

“She loved finding crayfish, frogs and building her shelter!”

“The kids loved getting out into nature and exploring. They love to be ‘in’ the wild, not just looking at it from a trail.”

“We are grateful and so appreciative of the experience she had – it ended up being her favorite camp of the summer. Thanks a million!”

“Thank you for having these camps each year! My children absolutely love this week each summer.”
