Outdoor adventures await this year’s campers! Each day campers will explore a different fun and exciting theme. STEAM Camp combines components of science, technology, engineering, art, and math in a way that’s meaningful, hands-on, and engaging. Campers will create their own handmade journals and grab their art bag and supplies and head out on the trail to paint, sculpt, construct, and draw the mysteries of the natural world. They will use these items as they explore several unique ecosystems such as the bottomland forest and Children’s Garden pond. Innovation and creativity will be at the heart of every activity.
