Description:

(Ages 6-10) Join Nature Vision this summer for a week of scientific exploration and learning about the natural world. With the forest as our laboratory and under the guidance of our staff of professional educators, campers will practice the skills that biologists, ecologists, and other scientists use in the field. By engaging in experiments such as water quality testing, surveying biodiversity, and more, campers will expand their understanding about the environment around them. We’ll combine our scientific observations and data collection with songs, games and art for a fun-filled summer experience to help your budding scientist explore their passion for learning!

What to Bring: Dress for the weather. Bring a lunch, two snacks, water bottle, and sunscreen each day.

This camp is led by Nature Vision. Nature Vision is an environmental education non-profit whose staff are experienced, professional educators, and many hold degrees in science, education, or related fields. Nature Vision camps provide a safe and fun outdoor experience while also focusing on helping campers develop skills in critical thinking, scientific observation, and social-emotional wellness.

Prerequisites: Nature Vision camps at Farrel-McWhirter Park (FM) have a low to moderate physical demand. Much of the terrain is relatively flat. There are some rougher trails within the park, as well as the ability to move into the neighboring Juel Park for groups that are prepared for more strenuous and/or technical exploration. The main camp area has easy access to potable water (including a sprinkler), accessible bathrooms, and is shaded through much of the day to help navigate the summer heat. This site best serves campers who are able to stay with their group on and off trail; cones and signs act as physical reminders of boundaries in the wide-open grassy fields. FM also hosts a working farm, and campers must be able to follow instructions regarding interactions with horses for the well-being of people and animals.
