The ponds in summer are bursting with life and every stop at a pond brings surprises: frogs and tadpoles, turtles and muskrats, or ducklings and dragonfly nymphs. Come explore some of the diverse pond habitats at the Center through hands-on ponding experiences. You never know what you will observe! Children...
Many artists take their inspiration from nature. Just like them, we’ll create nature-inspired art using materials from nature. We’ll spend our days painting “en plein air,” creating ephemeral sculptures, exploring loose parts work, and recognizing the beauty that surrounds us. Our studio classroom is all outdoors! These camps are designed...

This camp celebrates some of our favorite book characters and fictional locations. Join us as we spend our days reading books, writing, and illustrating our own stories, playing with puppets, and hiking to special spots on the trails where we can let our imaginations soar to create our own stories. ...
This camp is the perfect combination of things that Nature School students love: exploring the various macroinvertebrates that live in our ponds, experimenting with a variety of different paints and techniques, (even painting “en plein air”), and writing and listening to seasonal poems about the phenology of what is happening...

Nature is full of wonder, including the amazing transformation known as metamorphosis. Each day, we will perform the metamorphosis magic trick as we learn how certain creatures such as frogs, dragonflies, and butterflies develop from eggs into adults, in a process that seems almost magical!

This camp is all about having fun with water: we’ll scoop it, pour it, and stomp in it as we create art, experiment with bubbles, and see what sinks and what floats. Come prepared to get your hands and feet wet as we splish, splash, and splunk. Children must be...
This camp focuses on learning how to protect the place we love: Schlitz Audubon. We’ll identify invasive plants and animals, learn about native plants and pollinators, and monitor the diversity of our ponds. We’ll get our hands dirty as we learn the science of what it takes to care for...
