Nature Kids! CAMP

Summer 2025

Join us for one or all six sessions of Nature Kids Camp this summer!  Each week has a separate theme, but each week will look at all parts of nature. We will discover math, art, science, and so much more as we hike through Florence and Bear Cave Parks each day of our week together.

Healthy snacks and supplies are included in the camper cost of each week. Each kid camper should bring their own water bottle, wear comfy tennis or hiking shoes. Please no sandals, rain boots, or flip flops. We will be on different terrain that requires our toes to be covered and good tread so we don't slip. Dress for the weather, we will be outdoors unless there is thunder and lightning. Come with sunscreen on. We will provide bug spray if needed.

We will meet for arrival and pickup at Central Education Center at the main entrance and walk to Florence and Bear Cave Parks using the walking trail.

An email to all families will be sent from the camp leader once the class fills with students. The email will include details of the class and any extra information that pertains to the camp week.
