We are so excited for another wonderful summer at Nature Camp!

Nature Camp is an outdoor, nature themed summer camp for children entering 1st-5th grades. We are located near Gulley Park on the backside of the Parkside Playschool property in what we call "The Campsite." Each weekly session has a theme based around nature to inspire a sense of wonder, adventure, & imagination. Our camp is 100% outside, so parents can expect their child to spend their time here screen-free and completely immersed in nature!

Students can expect a day that is full of fun and exploration at The Campsite and Gulley Park with the added bonus of creek time at the nearby Niokaska Creek at Gulley Park! A typical day at camp involves daily greeting time with a schedule for the day, planned activities in the morning at both camp and the park, lunch and then creek time in the afternoon during the hotter part of each day before returning to The Campsite for pick ups.
