For campers entering grades K-2
Not offered for 2021
If you are looking for a safe, nurturing camp that teaches young children to be good stewards of the natural environment, this camp is for you! Early Birds Camp is for students entering kindergarten through second grade. The camp will allow the young and often first-time camper many opportunities to explore, investigate, and experience a variety of nature-based activities. Daily activities will include science, music, art, movement, and swimming centered around the outdoor environment. A well trained staff will guide each young camper in these enriching experiences. The camp will run from Monday to Thursday, from 8:30am-4pm. Transportation is the responsiblity of the parent. Lunch will be provided each day.
**There will only be one week of EBC offered this year.
