The 2020 Exploring Nature Day Camp program at Burchfield Park has been cancelled due to Covid-19.
Instead we will focus on virtual programming and work towards an online version of nature topics to share online.
Burchfield Park's Exploring Nature Day Camp provides a safe, guided and enjoyable experience in a natural setting. Our Day Camp Naturalists guide campers through a fun and educational curriculum by blending exciting games and crafts. Campers learn about nature through their senses by touching the bark of a tree, swimming in a pond on a hot summer day, listening to the sounds of nature, watching animals move about in their natural habitat and walking in the cool green forest. Camp sessions run Monday through Friday in the summer, and are developed to encourage young campers to become engaged with nature and to provide them with experiences they will share with family and friends.
Enrollment is open to children ages 5-12. Children age five must have completed kindergarten. Session 9 enrollment is open to children ages 10-12.
