Nature Explorers II:
Beyond the trail Day Camp

Campers entering Kindergarten-2nd grade: Student must be at least 5 years old. This camp is designed for young adventurers ready to go further, dig deeper, and take the next step in their outdoor journey. Building on the foundations of Nature Explorers, campers will expand their outdoor preparedness skills, explore beyond familiar paths, and strengthen their confidence through hands-on discovery and guided challenges. Along the banks of the Arkansas River at our River Campus, campers will deepen their connection to the natural world while learning to navigate, observe, and problem-solve in dynamic outdoor environments. This camp invites explorers to move beyond the trail and into a greater sense of adventure, responsibility, and independence.

Nature Explorers Day Camp is designed to introduce your little one to the wonders of the great outdoors.

  • They will learn, explore and discover:
    •  Ecosystems
    • Our Raptor Center
    • The Arkansas River
    • and SO much more!
