Watershed Nature Camp

Watershed Nature Camp: See what fun we have in store for your nature-lover! from The Watershed on Vimeo.

The Watershed Association’s Nature and Environmental Summer Day Camp connects the soul of the child to the heartbeat of the natural world. For eight weeks every summer the camp is open to children in pre-K through age sixteen. For each age-specific camp session, our professional staff plans new and exciting activities such as stream explorations, tracking adventures, insect safaris, nature crafts, journaling and play-oriented activities. Older campers will enjoy canoeing, backpacking, camping and night hikes.

Campers will explore fields or forests and experience encounters with nature’s
magic — a baby bird taking its first flight from its nest, salamanders hiding under streamside rocks, or dew drops lined up on the strands of a spider web. Using our 930-acre Watershed Reserve’s fields, forests, pond and stream as a campus, our Nature & Environmental Summer Day Camp embraces and explores the wonders of nature. We aim to provide children with a deeper understanding of the local ecology, the environment in general and their place on the planet.

Come to one of our Summer Camp Open Houses to learn more. Meet the Camp Director and sign up for camp!
