EcoExplorer Camp ~ Session 2 ~ Restoration

EcoExplorer Camp

EcoExplorer offers a unique opportunity to older children who are interested in nature and outdoor recreation. This camp unites the awareness of environmental topics with the practical experience of outdoor skills to form a greater appreciation of nature. Campers are encouraged to take part in the world around. We explore solutions to some environmental issues by participating in teambuilding challenges, games, arts, community service projects and hands-on experience. These two 4-week sessions include field trips, beach days, theme days and an overnight experience. During the third week, there will be an adventure-filled 3-day, 2-night camping trip. Pre- and Post-care is available; see page 25 of the Camp Guide. Location: Lighthouse Nature Center

Age: 10-11 yrs., entering grades 5 and 6

Fee: $885 R/$1290 NR  

Session II: Restoration Let’s go to the ends of the Earth! Global restoration is our goal. Campers examine the environmental changes in places all around the world, including Evanston. We’ll explore how we can coexist respectfully with the great outdoors and the importance of restoring the natural area around us. Campers will experience fire building, canoeing, hiking, camping and more.
