2012 Summer Day Camps at Frick Environmental Center
Summer is a great time to be a kid! Each summer day camp operates independently; therefore, camp fees vary. Call the
facilities for details concerning costs and registration procedures. Due to the popularity of these programs, advance
registration is necessary.
Kinder Nature Camp
for children 3 years old - entering first grade in fall
At the Kinder Nature Camp, early childhood educators guide your child through activities including songs, games, stories, and walks in the woods. Daily themes include dirt, plants, insects and more! We'll dig for worms, plant our own seeds, and
buzz like bees! Campers also do a hands-on project to help the park. Parents sign up to bring a snack. Choose from either morning (9 - 11:30 a.m.) or afternoon (12:30 - 3 p.m.) sessions.
