CincyNature Camps provide a safe and inclusive environment for children to experience the natural world through hands-on activities. Each week, campers explore different habitats, make nature-inspired crafts, play endless games, and sing silly songs with their new friends. Our trained counselors will help instill a love for nature as they guide campers throughout the week. Fresh air, hands-on activities, close encounters with animals and plants, and increased knowledge of the natural world help build confidence, passion, and knowledge about the environment.

Member and nonmember pricing varies per camp program. See the CincyNature Camp brochure (below) for more details.
