Environmental Summer Camps: Review of the Green River Preserve Summer Camp

Mini camp session is a five day experience for kids who will be second, third and fourth graders. It is a great introduction to kids who are new to camping.

One week sessions are geared towards fourth, fifth and sixth graders. It has one night camping trip and is a little more laid back than the two week session. This one is also good for kids who will be camping for the first time and are not yet ready for two weeks.

Two week sessions are for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth graders. There is a variety of activities, including morning hikes, twenty four different afternoon activities that the kids can choose from, camp fires, story telling, singing, and games. There is one whole day dedicated to the group learning project in which the kids choose an activity to do for the day such as fly fishing, crafts, pioneer cooking, and rock climbing. There is also a two night camping trip.

Three week sessions are recommended to seventh, eighth and ninth graders. Activities and learning experiences include wilderness, exploration, developing skills, and more.

Campers learn all about the environment through exploration. They will leave with a new sense of respect and responsibility for the environment. Kids learn about the earth by seeing and experiencing it.
