Who knew learning about the outdoors could be so much fun? Your child will have plenty to discover with hikes, environmental games, nature crafts, and much more. Each theme week will feature one all-camp project, as well as enriching small group sessions. To complement the weekly theme we will take a fun and educational field trip. Enriching stories will be told by our own award-winning storyteller. In addition, we will have specially designed interpretive programs led by a Park Naturalist or Ranger each week. We'll have just enough time to cool off swimming, go boating and fishing and do archery weekly.

Our day camps are fully licensed by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. State regulations require the following records on all children in attendance: Health Assessment, Authorization for Emergency Medical Care,Activities Permission Form and Personal Data Sheet.
