Looking for summer activities for kids ages 4 to 9? Enrollment is still open for Summer Ecology Camps at Merryspring Nature Center in July.
Summer Ecology Camps, a joint venture co-presented by Merryspring Nature Center and Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District, are split into two, week-long, part-day camp sessions. Through gardening, games, experiments, and observation campers enjoy an introduction to ecology and the natural world in these part-day camps. Select activities include bug hunts, nature hikes, tree and animal identification, an ocean touch tank, and more.
Exo-Explorers (July 8 – 12) is for children ages 7 to 9 who are looking to explore the natural world, conduct experiments, and get up-close-and-personal with the plants, insects, and animals in their Maine backyards. Little Sprouts (July 15 – 19) is great for younger campers between ages 4 and 6 who love to be outdoors, discover the world around them, play outdoor games, and get creative.
Both sessions take place at Merryspring Nature Center at 30 Conway Road in Camden. Allergy safe snacks are provided during both sessions. The cost is $100 for Eco Explorers and $80 for Little Sprouts, with a $10 discount in each camp for Merryspring members. Financial aid is available upon request.
