Nature Camps provides an atmosphere of adventure, sensory awareness, and creative expression. Our staff helps children feel comfortable in and understand their environment.

The Inestimable Worth of Each Child

We believe in the power of outdoor experiences to enrich and guide young lives. It is our task as Outdoor Educators to make these experiences happen in well planned, safe, constructive, and meaningful ways. Our experienced NC Staff provides the knowledge and supervision – but the outdoors is the big teacher.

At Nature Camps, Inc, the importance of recognizing and understanding the inestimable worth of each child is our guiding principle. The importance of understanding and making use of children’s different learning styles cannot be overstated.

Our Staff specializes in mixed age learning. Nature Camps’ 250 acre setting reflects its philosophy – a love of nature and adventure, combined with a love of learning. Designed for it’s children, their present happy growth, and their soundly based future effectiveness, Nature Camps is a creative setting where inquiry and exploration support lifelong processes of education.

Our program daily offers a broad range of activities. In a creative and guided setting, children choose activities in which they wish to participate.

Summertime belongs especially to children. Nature Camps provides an unhurried, relaxful, and adventuresome time – for children to find success and joy.
