Pilcher Park Nature Center Camps
Little Sprouts Learning Center
Summer Camp
Try out the Little Sprouts Learning Center for a 4- or
8-week summer session. Natural themes and materials are incorporated through outdoor and indoor activities. Each week we will discover the wonders of nature through exploration
of our woodland trails, pond, creeks, and meadows, while encouraging children to explore how their lives are a part of the world of nature. Campers should dress for the outdoors, wading in creeks, and getting muddy. Please bring bug spray and sunscreen. All children attending this program must be potty-trained before the camp session begins.
Survival Camp
You find yourself lost while hiking in the woods with your group of friends. Cell phones have no signals. Your friend
just tripped and hurt their ankle. How will you survive until
a rescue party finds you? What should you bring along with you on such a trip? Do you know basic first aid to treat the injured? Can you make a shelter? How about building a fire? What could you find to eat? Where is water found and how
do you make it safe to drink? Come to survival camp and you will learn all of these skills! Participants will experience a wide variety of survival techniques. Be a good survivor: dress for the weather, wear sunscreen, bug spray and long pants, and bring a snack and bottle of water.
