Description
The Loon Foundation is offering nature-themed day camps for kids aged 7-11 at the Iris & Billy Griffith Nature Centre in Pender Harbour throughout July and August! Day themes will include Ponds, Plants, Bugs, Birds, Invasive and Native Species, and Ecosystem Connections.
Our Kids Nature Camps offers children a fun and immersive learning experience where on-site mini-lessons are reinforced by extended periods of time spent outdoors, observing a diversity of critters and habitats through games, art, and journaling. Campers will utilize all six of their senses to form emotional connections with nature and develop feelings of environmental stewardship and responsibility.
Our camps are designed to let kids take the lead, prompting question asking and finding answers.
Our camps are held at the Irish & Billy Griffith Nature Centre, where lush green mosses and trees surround us, and nature trails around the lagoon are right at our doorstep. We look forward to sharing our space with you, the campers, and all the plants and animals who call this special place home.
My two children have thoroughly enjoyed their last two summers’ experience at the Iris Griffith Centre's nature school day camp. They eagerly anticipate returning again this year. The program not only provides them with ample time outdoors, but also gives them time to hang out with friends. We’re in a rural area without many structured activities for children in summer so being just a 20-minute drive away from Madeira Park has been a lifesaver for my work schedule and budget. I wholeheartedly recommend this camp to anyone seeking a break from screen time and a fulfilling and enriching summer experience for their children.
