Explore McKeever Camp (Ages 10-12)
August 9-11, 2017
This summer experience involves kids spending time exploring in and learning about the wonders of the McKeever Center’s forest. Your child can expect to hike within the beautiful hardwoods, investigate the crystal clear McKutcheon Run, and traverse the nighttime forest all while building new friendships with kids from all over.
Nature Day Camp (Ages 5-10)
August 14-18, 2017
Our Nature Day Camps are designed to connect children with the natural world through play, adventure and fun – all of which takes place in the natural world at McKeever, it’s trails, forests, streams and the many plants and animals that live there. Throughout the camp, we instill a sense of wonder while children explore the natural world around them. Our Nature Day Camps run 9 AM – 3 PM Monday through Friday. This year there are three sessions for 5 – 10 year olds. Smaller learning groups will be divided by age each session. Campers can register for either or both weeks as themes and activities are different each week.
