Hartley Nature Center- Urban Wilderness Camp
Summer Address:
Urban Wilderness Camp is Hartley Nature Center's traveling variety show. Each week of camp takes place at a different city park in Duluth and Superior. Programming is designed to utilize the unique offerings of the featured location. We spend a lot of time in the woods. Activities are designed to balance elements of recreation, education, conservation and community. We do things like swim in local creeks, search for crayfish, find agates, safely eat wild plants and berries, explore forests and creeks, play disc golf and capture the flag, make up games, paddle canoes, fish, cook over fires, tie knots, set up tarps, ride the city bus, hike on the Superior Hiking Trail, bike on the Munger Trail, paddle canoes, work and play as a team, and take care of our local urban wilderness.
