Our Exploration Camp invites young adventurers to discover the wonders of nature up close! Campers of all ages will take part in hands-on activities across the preserve, becoming scientists as they investigate our ecosystem and the incredible diversity of animals, plants, and microorganisms that call Blackacre home.
Throughout the week, campers will enjoy nature photography, creative crafts, team-building challenges, and special time with our farm animals. They’ll also get an up-close look at wildlife from different habitats while learning how these animals live, eat, adapt, and protect themselves in the wild.
New this year, two daily snacks are included and are thoughtfully selected to provide energy for active camp days, with a mix of healthier options and fun treats.
It’s a week filled with outdoor adventure, curiosity, and educational fun—perfect for kids who love to explore!
Age: 5-12
Date Options: June 1-5 or June 22-26
Time: 9:00 am – 4:00 pm
Cost: $275
Additional Lunch Option: Mon/Wed: Chicken Nuggets, Tues/Thurs: Ham/Turkey or PBJ Sandwich, Friday: Pizza Party. Our sides include a variety of chips, GoGurt, and fresh fruit. $50 per camper.
