While our Middles(3rd-5th) campers 🐞had fun doing some of their favorite summer activities🛶 and 🧠studied all about anatomy in nature.🫀

Thank you to all our campers and families for a fabulous first week back!

🌸🐝 Attention 3rd-5th grade Parents! 🎣🌿
Summer may be jammed packed but we have a few openings!
There are still spots available in a couple of our Middles Camps.

🌲Outdoor-ologies(Morning) June 15th-19th🐞

"Become a nature expert, one “ology” at a time! “Ology” means “the study of” and there are plenty of ologies out there: biology (life), ornithology (birds), geology (earth), entomology (insects) and more! Learn about a different outdoor topic each day as you become a well-rounded outdoor-ologist."

🌎 Corps of Adventure(Full Day) June 22nd-26th🥾

"Step into the boots of history’s greatest explorers! Campers will follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark, learning about their journey, the people they met, and the challenges they faced. We’ll spend the week living like those early adventurers and discover what it took to explore the uncharted lands of the American frontier along the way. Camp ends Friday at noon. *Friday drop-off and pick-up (noon) at Pompeys Pillar.*"

👑Legends and Fables Camps(Afternoon) June 29th-July 1st🐉

"A magical camp where stories meet the natural world. Inspired by the fables of Aesop, Native American stories and classics such as The Lorax, campers explore how traditional stories shape the way we care for our world today."

There is a lot of exploring to be had!

Join us and have some fun learning and playing outside.
You can register online! We hope to see you there :)

An unexpected sound can be heard in early spring at the Audubon Center..the sound of sewing machines. Teachers are busy sewing all their love into wings for our Fledglings. Before our Fledglings fly the nest they are gifted a set of wings, not only to help them soar into their future but also to remind them to fly back to visit every now and then. Our nest is empty for a short time but soon it will be filled again with returning fledglings and new little chicks. See you in the fall!!!!!
