Exploring Nature Summer Camp offers an enriching experience for youth aged 5 to 14, providing a unique and immersive opportunity to connect with the natural world. Located on a sprawling 350-acre campus, our program invites campers to explore five miles of scenic trails winding through diverse ecosystems, including forests, meadows, ponds, and streams, as well as our state-of-the-art science facility. Each day, campers dive into nature through habitat exploration, guided nature walks, creative activities, and hands-on science experiments, fostering a strong connection to the environment and a deep understanding of environmental stewardship.
Founded in 1983, Exploring Nature has been a cherished tradition for decades. Our camp’s success is rooted in the dedication of our passionate instructors who inspire curiosity and nurture a lifelong love of nature. Spaces fill quickly each summer, so join us to watch your child grow, connect, and create lasting memories that spark a lifelong appreciation for the natural world.
