Junior Naturalist Outdoor Adventure Camps

Dates:

JNOAC Day Camp – June 21-26

JNOAC Resident Camp – August 15-20

JNOAC Description: The Resident and Day Junior Naturalist Outdoor Adventure Camps (JNOAC) encourages children, ages 7 to 12, to explore their natural world through participation in Outdoor Adventure Sports, Environmental Enhancement Projects & Conservation Education. The following list includes activities in which the campers will have the opportunity to participate in: Orienteering, Canoeing, Kayaking, Yoga, Rock Climbing, Rappelling, Fishing, Fresh Water Snorkeling, Wilderness Survival, Tracking, Hiking, Ultimate Frisbee, Camp Fire Songs, Environmental Conservation Education. All meals will be healthy and nutritious (we use locally grown & organic foods as much as possible). Daily physical fitness activities will promote a healthy lifestyle. Campers are encouraged to get dirty, get sweaty, play hard & laugh a lot..... while exploring their natural world.

Campers learn to assess and manage risk, water safety, water rescue, wilderness first aid and CPR familiarization. Most importantly, we teach campers to trust their instincts & to take time to make good decisions. Tools that will make their daily lives more safe.

Environmental Health and Conservation Education gives children ownership of their environment, encourages environmental stewardship, and places an emphasis on teamwork. Campers are encouraged to learn at a pace that is comfortable for them. Having one mentor for every seven campers maximizes learning opportunities. Values such as respect, courage, honesty & integrity are our cornerstones.

Our instructors are Swift Water Rescue certified, CPR certified, Wilderness First Aid and Outdoor Emergency Care (OEC) certified. In addition, we have certified Rappel Masters, Lifeguards, Leave No Trace trainers, an Eagle Scout, and a Mountaineering Instructor on staff. We encourage you to look at our current instructor profiles to become more acquainted with our staff.
