WHY CHOOSE NATURE CAMPS?
The world of Adventure and Environmental Education is growing in leaps and bounds… and for four decades, NC has been blazing the trail! Adventure and Environmental Education (Sensory Awareness) is transforming – changing perceptions, heightening awareness, changing lives. Whether exploring our natural world for the first time or a seasoned outdoorsman curious about this year’s programs, we know that you have choices. There are many reasons to choose Nature Camps. To name just a few:
NC has been enriching summers for families just like yours since the beginning.
For 42 years, NC has always been on the cutting edge in the Outdoor Adventure and Environmental Education field. We have enjoyed interacting with thousands of families statewide, sharing the woods, fields, streams, and lakes with children and their parents in a real and most personal way.
NC is the unique source for all your family outdoor experiences and education.
You can get everything here! Hiking, exploring, camping, Adventure Challenge Ropes Course (self-confidence building and group problem solving), natural crafts, swimming, canoeing, biking, carving, singing, Nature Journal drawing and writing, dreaming, story telling, traditional tool making, Family Overnights and Concerts-in-the Woods.
