About this Event
All of Rural Action’s Day Camps focus on nature immersion, exploration, and fun in the outdoors! Campers will get to unleash their curiosity and explore local forests, creeks, and trails. Our camps are both an introductory experience to the outdoors as well as continued learning for campers with more experience, allowing all campers the chance to have fun in a safe environment with Rural Action’s environmental educators.
The Stroud's Run Summer Camp is focused on learning all about the Stroud's Run Watershed through lake exploration, games, field trips and nature-based crafts! Drop off is 8:45-9:00 a.m. and pick up is 4-4:15 p.m. Campers will need to bring a water bottle, sunscreen, a change of clothes, rubber boots if they have them, and comfortable walking shoes.
