Description:
Nature Camp offers a hands-on full day outdoor program for inquisitive 4-11yrs. Campers will spend the days outside connecting with nature. Each day will be a new adventure exploring our beautiful urban wilderness and building an appreciation for the natural world. Trail walks and time at the stream will provide a chance to learn about local plants, water life and animals. Campers will be encouraged to observe their surroundings using all of their senses. Each day includes some unstructured play-time and investigation, as well as group games to encourage cooperation and build friendships. Other activities will include: tie dye t-shirts, geocaching/scavenger hunts, bouldering, panning for gems, nature-themed crafts and many more. Senior campers will be introduced to basic survival skills which will include learning different ways to build a fire, building and camouflaging a shelter, and identifying poisonous plants. Our experienced and caring coaches will ensure your child is active, engaged and inspired by the outdoors! If bad weather sends us indoors we have use of two indoor turf fields covering over 30,000sq ft and plenty of space for crafts. Drop-off is between 8:30am-9pm with structured camp running from 9am-3:45pm. Pick-up is from 3:45pm-4pm with extended care options (8am-6pm) available. Campers should bring medications/epi-pens (in clear labelled zip lock bag), lunch, snacks, refillable water bottle, sunscreen, bug spray & change of clothes in backpack.
