Summer Nature Camps

Our summer camps encourage kids to explore and learn about the environment through a variety of activities, including nature walks, bird watching, fishing, dip-netting, gardening, geocaching, flower pressing, games, crafts, stories, and more.

Who should attend our Summer Camps?

We welcome students entering first through eighth grade who want to learn about their natural surroundings. EIH will provide many opportunities for outdoor exploration, wildlife observation, and fun.

Registration closes on the Monday prior to each camp. Unpaid camp registrations cannot be held indefinitely and will be cleared from carts every 24 hours.
