Nature Explorers: Habitat Quest

About the Camp

Welcome to Nature Explorers: Habitat Quest, where rising 4th and 5th graders will delve deep into the fascinating ecosystems that surround us! This camp is designed for older participants ready for longer excursions and more in–depth exploration but attending Nature Explorers: Cycles Galore previously is not required. Campers will engage in experiential learning, investigating various habitats and the unique plants and animals that are native to Pennsylvania. Participants will also collect real scientific data and submit it to citizen science projects, making a meaningful contribution to environmental research. With a focus on ecosystems and environmental stewardship, this camp features field trips, laboratory experiments, and our popular stream study day. Join us for an unforgettable week of discovery, teamwork, and fun as we learn to protect our planet!
