Summer is a great time to get kids outdoors to not only play but get connected to the greater world around them. O’Brien County Conservation will host a variety of youth day camps this summer. Our summer camps are for youth ages 3-15, grouped by age.
Mini Naturalists is an hour-long program for youth ages 3-6. It is a great hands-on introduction to nature for these budding naturalists. This program, offered once a month, will include games, crafts, and hikes. Parents or adult caregivers are encouraged to stay for the program.
Nature Navigators is for youth ages 7-10 and this program will have kids investigating nature through hands-on experiences. This once a month, two-hour long program will include fun nature activities, games, and crafts. Each month will offer different activities.
Adventurers youth camp is for kids that are 11-15 years old. This two-hour long program will have campers trying new activities and going on adventures outdoors. Each month will host a different topic with activities geared at that topic. There is even an opportunity for an overnight camp during Outdoor Quest.
Each camp session has a different theme so your child can enjoy one or enjoy them all. Registration will begin on Tuesday, May 4. Registration is required for each program and space is limited. Day camp programs are available at no cost. COVID-19 precautions are in place for all programs.
