Title: The Forest and Me Nature Camp Session 2-- My Life in the Forest Understory
Description: The Ford Nature Center is once again offering a three-week camp opportunity for children who will be entering grades 1-6 next school year (2025-2026) or ages 6-12. The goal of this nature camp is to directly address the nature-deficit that so many of our children experience because of too many hours indoors, in front of screens, or in organized social clubs. In each week-long camp, children will be outside for nearly all their days, experiencing the beauty and calming influence that the forest brings. This summer, our nature camp theme is The Forest and Me. Session 2 will focus on 'My Life in the Forest Understory' and runs from Monday, June 23 - Friday, June 27, from 9:00am-1:00pm at the Ford Nature Center. During this week, campers will learn about the forest just above the ground - the part that we interact with the most! We will learn about trees, plants, mammals, insects, streams and creeks. Each day will be filled with hiking, lessons, crafts, and fun activities designed to bring the forest to life. Cost is $125 for five days of camp. Spots are limited; don't delay in registering. A letter with additional information will be sent to you as soon as the paid registration is received. Register/pay by 6/16 online or call 330-740-7107 x 129 for more information. $125 per child. For more information call (330) 740-7107 Ext. 129.
