Campers will engage directly with our water and energy conservation features daily. Campers may also monitor weather data using our new weather station and dashboard.
In the science laboratory, campers will use microscopes and dissecting scopes to examine nature up close, looking at the structure of plants or insects, and investigating the hidden world of microscopic life. Older campers will even visit the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Center, exploring how data informs the maps we use.
With all the new and expanded features of Watershed Nature Camp this year, you are sure to find something for your camper. For more information, check out our camp ater you doing this summer?

There is so much more to love this year, with campers set to inhabit our new, state-of- the-art Watershed Center. We’ve also reinstituted Before & After Care to accommodate your busy schedule and expanded camp to include even more weeks.
With the new center as “base camp,” your campers will spend time each day exploring the breathtaking 930-acre Watershed Reserve. Interactive exhibits will engage campers, teaching them about the geography and geology of our watershed, the ecology of our Reserve and the denizens of our local waterways. As in the past, campers will meet our resident creatures up close weekly.
The LEED-certified Watershed Center offers campers unique opportunities to learn about environmental design. The building utilizes solar and geothermal energy, which can be monitored daily on our dashboard; employs

The Academy is for students who are motivated to build on their experiences at Watershed Nature Camp, and/or high school science and environmental classes. The Academy will provide a more focused and academic approach to investigating issues within our environment.
Utilizing the Watershed Center for Environmental Advocacy, Science and Education as a teaching platform, students will learn basic principles of civil and environmental engineering to investigate the causes and problems associated with
Central to the Summer Watershed Academy is the opportunity to explore the many environmental features utilized in our new Watershed Center. Students will have the opportunity to examine some of these features closely, talk to designers and engineers who installed storm water runoff. Students will develop and utilize STEM these features, and apply newly gained knowledge to solve (science, technology, engineering and math) skills as they problems elsewhere in their environment. The Academy examine the causes and measure the impacts of this serious will utilize the 1,200-square foot science laboratory and problem facing our streams, our drinking water supplies the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Center during and the environment.
