Summer Camp

Thinking of what to do this summer? Come to the Highlands Center for Nature Camp! We will spend the week outside exploring, completing challenges, crafting, building, journaling, and making friends. Campers won’t just be in the forest, they will experience the forest in a whole new way. They will learn something about themselves and the local wildlife through play, interaction, and fun!
