This is a week-long camp for kids entering 3rd and 4th grade in the fall. Campers create and use an exploration journal as they investigate different ways to interact with nature and document their discoveries. The week starts by honing their observation skills then progresses into looking for animal signs, adventuring through the park, and creating food and art. Aftercare is available for this week.

This is a week-long camp for kids entering 1st and 2nd grade in the fall. Campers explore a different habitat each day to learn about the places in Frick Park where plants and animals get everything they need to survive. Campers will adventure through the park to explore the meadow, dig in the soil, hike through the woodland, splash in the stream, and investigate the city as a habitat. Each day consists of games and activities centered around the featured habitat to get campers connected to nature and playing outdoors.

This is a week-long camp for kids entering 5th and 6th grade in the fall. Campers will explore Frick Park in the mornings and play in the woods in the afternoon. This camp includes one field trip to North Park where campers will Kayak at the lake and swim at North Park Pool (weather permitting).

This half-day camp is for children 4 years old at the time of camp through those entering kindergarten in the fall. Campers sing songs, dig for worms, play games, plant seeds, and take walks in the woods. Activities focus on connecting and engaging with nature around us. There are two separate camp sessions per week: AM and PM.

This is a week-long camp for children who will be entering 7th or 8th grade this fall and are interested in learning basic wilderness survival skills. Campers will learn shelter- and fire-building, how to find water and food, whittling, and outdoor preparedness.
