June 23-25, 2026: Enjoy the outdoors and get away from the electronics! Campers will enjoy stream exploration, nature inspired crafts, a wagon ride, a trip to the water slide and so much more. Campers will be walking between ½ mile to 1 ½ miles each day. They will be getting dirty, so an extra change of clothes is recommended. They are required to wear water shoes when getting into the stream for stream exploration. Most activities will be outdoors, so get ready to get dirty and dress for the weather!
