My daughter absolutely loved Nature Camp. She got to do craft projects, learned about local plants and animals, and loved all of the fun games that they played. She had so much fun, that when the week was over she asked if she could go to the second session! We signed her up again and it was even better, because they didn't do the same things. Absolutely the best value summer camp she has been to!
