Does your child love nature and exploring the great outdoors? Then our jr. naturalist day camp is for them! During this three-day camp your child will investigate the woods, prairies, and wetlands of Lake St. Clair Metropark. Campers will enjoy guided hikes, crafts, and an opportunity to think like a naturalist. We’ll take a closer look at a variety of wildlife found in our unique park habitats and get up close with the live nature center animals. On our last day of camp, we’ll check out the beach and splash pad so be prepared to get wet! Most activities are outside, so get ready to get dirty and dress for the weather! Snacks provided but please pack a water bottle and lunch for each child.

Ages: Children ages 6-8
Time: 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Cost: $100 per camper

You will be asked a series of questions during registration (such as medical questions, emergency contacts and the child’s authorized pick-up person) that must be answered in order to register your child for camp.
