Exploring the world of animals, water, nature and bugs are the themes of four new, one day summer camps this summer meant to nurture a love of the outdoors.
These fun filled, hands on camps are for kids ages 4 and 5. “We’re really excited about these camps,” explained Nancy Aspden, Coordinator of Environmental Programs/GIS Specialist. “We have put together a really fun and informative series of camps that will keep kids engaged in an outdoor education setting.”
The one-day summer camps will begin on Wednesday, July 5 with Amazing Animals, followed by Art in Nature on Wednesday, July 12, Wonders of Water on Wednesday, August 2 and Bugs on Wednesday, August 9.
“We wanted to offer a diverse mix of camps so that parents who were interested, had the opportunity to register their four and five year olds in multiple camps and it would be a different and unique experience each time,” said Ms. Aspden.
The camps will each run from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Camp participants can be dropped off at 8 a.m. and picked up at 4:30 p.m. Cost is $45 per day camp, $40 per camp if you sign up for three days and $35 per camp if you register for all four one-day camps.
“Ken Reid Conservation Area and our Outdoor Education facility offers a perfect venue to enjoy the summer, explore nature while learning and building strong friendships and a love of nature,” added Ms. Aspden.
