At Nature Camp, we want everyone to have fun, stay safe, and feel welcome. To make that happen, every camper is expected to follow this code of conduct every day:

Be Kind and Respectful

• Use kind words and actions with everyone—campers, counselors, and animals too!
• Listen when someone is talking and take turns when playing or speaking.
• Keep hands, feet, and objects to yourself. No hitting, pushing, or rough play.

Be Safe

• Stay with your group and follow directions from counselors.
• Walk (not run!) on trails and keep your shoes on.
• Use sticks and rocks for exploring—not for throwing.
• Tell an adult right away if someone is hurt or if something doesn’t feel right.

Take Care of Nature

• Treat all plants and animals gently—look with your eyes, not your hands.
• Stay on marked trails and do not pick flowers or disturb wildlife.
• Leave nature the way you found it. “Take only memories, leave only footprints.”

Be Ready to Explore

• Come prepared each day with a water bottle, snack/lunch, sunscreen, and bug spray.
• Use camp supplies and materials the right way and help clean up when you're done.
• Try new things, ask questions, and have fun learning about the world around you!

Campers who have trouble following these rules will:

• Be given a gentle reminder.
• Be given time away from the group to cool down and reflect.
• Have a counselor speak with their grown-up if the behavior continues.
• In serious cases, a camper may be sent home for the day or dismissed from camp.

We’re here to have a great time together! Let’s make camp safe, fun, and full of adventure for everyone!

We’re kicking off the summer with a fun-filled short week of camp from Tuesday, May 26th to Friday, May 29th, 2026!

Get ready to splash, explore, and stay cool! If your camper is signed up for Wild Water Camp, please send them with the following each day:

• A Towel and a plastic bag to bring it home in.
• For the 5-7 year olds, you may want to have them arrive in a swim outfit, ready to play
• Change of clothes for after-water activities
• Water shoes (closed-toe preferred) for creek exploration—no flip-flops, please! - (old tennis shoes work in a pinch)
