Classes are open to all students interested in learning more about the beauty and diversity of our natural world. Each week students participate in courses designed to engage them in hands-on, discovery-oriented learning about their environment. Courses are divided by age level. Drop-off for Discovery Camps is from 8:30–9:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and pick up is from 3:30–4:00 p.m. Additional drop-off and pick-up information will be sent to all registered campers one week prior to their camp.

Each year provides new and diverse classes in all of our camps. Topics run the gamut from wilderness ecology, ornithology, entomology, geology, nature art, awareness, team building skills and so much more! Knowledgeable instructors provide diverse learning experiences that are guaranteed fun and educational for all!
