exploring the wonders of nature. Youth entering 7th-12th grades assist the Environmental Education Specialist as Counselors-In-Training (CITs). During Nature Day Camp children play games, hike, meet the live education animals, explore the river and forest, listen to stories, make crafts, create a journal, and role-play!
