The Forest and Me Nature Camp Session 3--The Forest Canopy Just Beyond My Reach

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 years old. 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 3 will focus on 'The Forest Canopy Just Beyond My Reach' and runs from Monday, July 7 - Friday, July 11, from 9:00am-1:00pm at the Ford Nature Center. During this week, campers will learn about the forest canopy - the place where the tree tops touch the sky. We will learn about the birds, bats, flying insects, weather, and the sky. Each day will be filled with hiking, lessons, crafts, and fun activities designed to bring the forest canopy 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 6/30 online or call 330-740-7107 x 129 for more information. $125 per child.
