Director's Message

This summer's counselors are another remarkable blend of experienced young women and men. They are about to gather together for eight and half days and six nights of intense staff development and training and work projects. The delightful fellowship and learning that comes from these days and nights is eagerly anticipated by all.

The quality of each and every NC staff member continues to distinguish Nature Camps from all other experiential, adventure based, sensory awareness driven programs. In addition to bringing outdoor education knowledge and skills they bring forth a deep respect for the inestimable worth of everyone.

They feel and impart awe, humility and hope. That feeling continues to be my wish for children and their parents each summertime at Nature Camps.

For reflections from past counselors I invite you to read their thoughts and feelings.

I welcome everyone to another remarkable summertime -- where children, parents, and staff will explore the 230 acres of conservancy woodlands, fields, streams.

Lastly, I encourage you to share with others the uniqueness of Nature Camps' environmental and adventure-based programs.

Honey Bees Find a New Home

The honey bees that established a home during the past two years in the lodge wall have been moved to a bee hive in Harford County. We at Nature Camps will miss the ever-active bees!

Nature Camps Open House

The Nature Camps Open House was a fun day that welcomed many. Families enjoyed the campfire built by Renee O'neill, trips to the Adventure Ropes Course, swinging on the swings, and chatting with Don, counselors, other parents, and children.

One child asked her mother when they were leaving. The mom said, "In a few minutes." The child promptly asked if they could stay five more hours!

What a joy it was to get an early taste of the peaceful woods of Nature Camps!

Towson University's Field Station Grand Opening

A well attended and successful Open House occurred this May. Susie and Al Henneman, Towson Alumni and camp property owners, were honored as was Don Forester, Professor and Director of the new Field Station. The continued remarkable environmental stewardship and humanitarian deeds of the Hennemans were poignantly recognized.
