Nature Camp 2024

Beaver Meadow Nature Camp runs for 5 weeks, Monday to Friday, from 9:00AM to 4:00PM, starting on July 8th!  We have camps for children of all ages with games, crafts, outdoor expeditions, and unique nature experiences.  Your child will explore the different habitats at Beaver Meadow while having a blast!  Join us for the best summer yet!
​One-Day Camps
New for 2024 - Beaver Meadow now is offering one-day camp experiences! In a single day, campers will get to experience some of our favorite camp programs, including canoeing, pond life, insects netting, and meeting a tree.  The day of non-stop action will end like all of our camps: a campfire and smores with new friends!

Our one-day camp on July 30th is open to Explorers, Adventurers, and Wilderness Expeditioners.  Our one-day camp on August 1st is open to Explorers, Adventurers, and Avian Expeditioners.
