Planet Earth Camp is a five day, four night residential camp for students that love the outdoors. Through a variety of hands-on activities, campers will investigate the natural environment and will participate in an environmental action project. Every day we challenge our campers to practice sustainable living by conserving water and electricity, reducing food waste, and even cooking a sustainable, locally-sourced meal. And of course our campers will enjoy a variety of classic summer camp activities such as swimming, field games, archery, fishing, crabbing, and canoeing!
