Back to top Summer Camps
Campus Recreation and Wellness offers two Youth Summer Camps. Both camps are structured for a particular age group and offer a fun educational experience for your child. - Nature Discovery Camp (Ages 5-8)
Nature Discovery Camps are “hands on” experiential, active, creative, and progressive camps that will introduce children to the natural world. Fields, forest, streams and ponds will be our classroom.
