Comments from Nature Daycamp Families:

“(My Child) seemed to be bubbling over with enthusiasm every day about what he did/learned at camp.”

“There’s been a lot of habitat talk around our house.”

“Thanks for another great year! You all are exceptional, dedicated, and inspiring!”

“(My child) was a constant source of information about things she learned at camp—metamorphosis, digestion, fir cones, energy from food. It just poured out her and it continues to spurt out all year!”
