Director's Message:

Why do children, families, and staff continue to flock to Nature Camps?

The increasing number of unique camps at Nature Camps, have become an epitome of life itself -- rich, purposeful, satisfying. http://www.naturecamps.com/aboutNC/about.html

It is something about experiencing deeper meanings and unsuspected relationships -- across all ages, from very young, to teens, through adulthood. http://www.naturecamps.com/senseWonder/reflections.html

Education, broadly considered at DWNC/NC, captures an undreamed-of potential in life. http://www.naturecamps.com/senseWonder/director.html

The excitement of shining ideals tested over the years in these nationally-known, successful camps. http://www.naturecamps.com/choose/why.html

It is a bit of valuable experiential education for any conscientious parent, the unique ways of using the natural environment for an effective, unforgettable education of the young. http://www.naturecamps.com/senseWonder/expLearning.html

It is an important contribution to the current return to integrity, simplicity, and more satisfying life-style.

Ah, the indescribable feeling of the Family Overnights and Concerts.http://naturecamps.com/programs/cfamily.html

It is about FAMILY. http://www.naturecamps.com/senseWonder/parents.html, http://www.naturecamps.com/preCamp/workDay.html

 

Annual Holiday Gathering

About twenty-five current and past staff members celebrated the holiday season on January 9. Joining together for a vegetarian potluck dinner and a gift exchange of homemade items, the staff enjoyed sharing stories of each other's falls and winters, while looking forward to summer 2010.

Held at the home of co-director Patty Barry, post-dinner fun included a sing-along with guitars and a spirited game of Twister.

Brochures

The 2010 brochures have been mailed. If you did not receive one, please go to http://www.naturecamps.com/brochurereq.html and we'll send one asap.

Input Appreciated

Since the camp season is only eight weeks, several years ago we created the NC Newsletter (see http://www.naturecamps.com/newsletters/oldNewsletters.html).

It comes once a month, keeping the Nature Camps community together throughout the year.

We are interested in what information that you would like to see in the Newsletters. Please send along your impressions, ideas, perspectives, and feelings about the summertime place that has brought meaning into your children's and family lives.

We would like the Newsletters to be a vehicle for all to share such thoughts.

You can send your sharings to naturecamps@msn.com

We look forward to hearing from you!
