2016 SUMMER CAMPS!
Check out our Summer Camp Brochure
Here at MPEC we are dedicated to providing programs that are centered around the creation of a citizenry that understands, respects, enjoys and cares for themselves, their families, their community, and the natural world.
Our summer camp programing is environmentally focused and non-competitive, and is designed to aid in the development of self-esteem, responsibility, teamwork and leadership skills. We believe that the challenges of outdoor exploration, fun and placed-based education provide some of the best opportunities to achieve this goal.
