Earth is home to millions of plant and animal species, each living in their perfect niche and battling for survival. Extinction is a threat facing thousands of these species are facing endangerment for many different reasons. Join us this week to explore ways to sustain and protect our planet, along with the abundance of living-beings that reside here! During this week of camp, your child will transform into a junior conservationist as we equip them with the tools and knowledge to make a difference in the world. Aside from the focus of conservation, campers will also discover different biomes that species live in. Each biome is impacted by its own dangers that put these species at risk. Through understanding environmental needs and discovering how to practice sustainability in their everyday life, your child will learn what it means to be a true junior conservationist.
Our Summer Camps are recommended for youth entering grades first though sixth. Campers must come with a packed lunch, re-usable water bottle and any weather specific needs. Snack will be provided everyday. Must wear close-toed shoes.
Barn Nature Center Summer Camps offer youth the chance to get up close and personal with our over 60 rescued and re-homed animal residents. During our week-long programs, campers will embark on adventures filled with animals, science, games, arts and crafts and many other fun activities! Campers have the opportunity to become animal caretakers and will learn what it takes to keep our animal friends happy and healthy. They will assist our staff in the daily animal care, bathing, grooming, weighing, handling, and designing enrichment for our animals.
