Welcome! Summer is a wonderful time to be outside discovering the natural beauty that surrounds us here in Northern Michigan! It also presents a perfect opportunity to engage your child in a different kind of learning — the kind that lasts a lifetime and doesn’t require the internet or a textbook.
Our tried-and-true curricula of hands-on, outdoor experiences will inspire your child’s innate curiosity, creativity, and empathy for the plants, animals, and ecosystems that elevate Northern Michigan to be among the most beautiful places on Earth.
Nature Day Camp is a 10 week State of Michigan Licensed Day Camp program. Camp runs each week from Monday-Friday, 9:00am-4:00pm and welcomes school-aged children, 6-11 years old.
