JUNIOR NATURALIST PROGRAM

We are now accepting applications for the 2023 summer season.

Applications will be accepted on a first come, first served basis through June 1st.

This program is perfect for the young teen who loves the camp experience and wants to share that love with younger kids while gaining some leadership experience. Jr Naturalists will participate in a camp-like training day where they will learn about local ecology, play and lead camp games, and build leadership skills. Following the training day a select few will be invited to help us for a week of summer camp (you will select your preferred summer camp dates on the application.)

Training Day: June 20th | 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

Requested donation: $65.00 (to cover training and mentoring)
