Get ready for a week of exploring, discovering, and becoming a Naturalist in Training! Participants will dive into hands-on field investigations, learn how to identify plants and animals, explore the outdoors, and practice real scientific observation skills. Modeled after the Master Naturalist Program at the Montana Natural History Center, this experience introduces participants to the skills and mindset of real naturalists. Along the way, they’ll work as a team, take on leadership roles, and solve real-world challenges while building a deeper connection to Montana’s amazing ecosystems through fun, immersive, and unforgettable experiences. A few highlights include:
-Sharpen observation skills while learning to identify various tracks, bird calls, insects, and native plants.
-Explore what it truly means to be a naturalist.
-Build knowledge of the natural world through hands-on learning.
-Design and lead your own mini project at the end of the week to showcase what you've learned.
This is a co-ed camp. All middle school students welcomed!
As camp professionals, we understand that your biggest concern is for the safety of your child. We also know you have goals for your child’s development related to the powerful lessons the camp experience provides in community, character-building, skill development, and healthy living. MNHC shares those same goals, which is why we have taken the added step of becoming an accredited camp through the American Camp Association (ACA).
Cost: $345 for MNHC members, $365 for non-members per camp.
