The Warren County Conservation District has announced its summer camp schedule, with the theme of “Outdoor Survivor.”

Youth Conservation Camp (YCC) is a nine-hour day camp running from 8 a.m. on June 27-29 for kids entering grades 7 – 9 for the 2023/2024 school year. This camp focuses on the philosophy of Learning by Doing. The majority of the time is spent “in the field” where campers learn about trees and plants, soil, aquatics, ecology, wildlife, farming, and more. Even though campers are bused to different on-site locations throughout the county this camp is based out of the Conservation District building at 4000 Conewango Avenue in Warren. The application deadline for this camp is May 24/

Children’s Nature Camp (CNC) is geared towards elementary school students from 1st—6th grades and is broken up into three age groups.

CNC will be held from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. at the pavilion of the Hatch Run Conservation Demonstration Area on Hatch Run Road. Children will learn and discover the uniqueness and importance of water, soil, plants, and animals in our local environment. Kids in the Children’s Nature Camp will also have a chance to play in the stream and fish in the pond; where some campers have caught their first fish.

The Kindergarten Nature Camp (KNC) is for children going into Kindergarten this fall. This camp will also be based out of the pavilion of the Hatch Run Conservation Demonstration Area on Hatch Run Road. The camp will be held from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.on July 27th. This will be a fun-filled camp learning about water, plants, animals, and soils (be prepared to get wet and dirty). There will be crafts, games, and exploring in nature. This camp will be limited to 10 kids so act fast!

The application deadline for all CNCs and KNCs is June 21. The cost for each camp is YCC – $60 per child, CNC – $40 per child, and KNC – $20 per child (scholarships are available for all camps).
