This camp will be focused on immersive outdoor experiences that will introduce campers to the wonders of our local environment. The camp will be spent at Pratts Falls with the possibility of another park as well, where we will be able to spend time in nature. Park pavillions will be our homebase. Hands-on experiences in our natural world will allow young naturalist to experience, appreciate, and wonder at the interconnectedness of everything on Earth. Activities will include observations, discussions, and classification of birds, insects, trees, plants, aquatic life, fossils, rocks, local geology, and more.
Each day will be a mixture of activities with different themes as we hike and play games throughout the park visiting a variety of ecosystems. Participants should bring a bag lunch and dress for the weather. Clothing should be the kind you don’t mind getting a little dirty as we will be exploring the wilderness.
Camp Director is Marcus Pitts who is a local certified Earth Science teacher and graduate of SUNY ESF.
FEE: $200.00 per participant
