Director's Message:

At Thanksgiving, families all over our nation come together to celebrate. NC Counselors, children, and family came together to share a special afternoon and evening we called our Gratitude Gathering. Forty NC-ers gathered at Don's home in Pylesville to sing, share, laugh, eat, hike, and enjoy one another's company.
 
The day is best described in Cece's words, below.

Nature Camps Gratitude Gathering
 
To see members of the Nature Camps family, to take a night hike together under the moon, to share stories and wisdom over an abundant potluck meal -- these are things to be very grateful for. I am always tremendously touched by the individuals that make up the Nature Camps community and the warmth they give to one another.
--- Cecelia Galarraga

Beat the Rush! Register Now!
 
Are you tired of the annual rush to set your child's summer schedule? Beat the rush! Nature Camps is currently accepting registrations for the 2009 Summer Season!
 
We offer the Camper Program for children ages 5-12. In a mixed-age learning environment, children choose their own activities -- Adventure Ropes Course, swimming, horseback riding, canoeing, nature crafts, carving & whittling, hiking, stream exploring, singing, bicycling, new games, etc.
 
Teen Adventure is for teens 13-16, and offers a four week program of hiking, biking, white water rafting, community service learning, kayaking, and more! Two weeks are spent at Nature Camps, and two five-day away trips take teens to a local farm and to the Appalachian Trail.
 
Camp Wonder, for 4-year olds is a program designed to be a miniature version of our camper program -- at the relaxed pace of a four-year-old!
 
Camp Little Feet is for toddlers, aged 2-1/2 to 4, and provides a unique opportunity for the parent and child to explore nature as only toddlers can do -- one wonder at a time.
 
So, whatever the age of your child, and whatever your summertime schedule brings, Nature Camps has a program just for you!
