Discover nature and all the fun ways we can interact with it! Campers will experience the truly wild and wonderful side of the plants and creatures that call the Warner Parks home, exploring the creek, building forts in the woods, playing in the mud, and searching for animals big and small. Every day will be spent using naturalist tools during nature hikes, creek walking, and outdoor play.Additional Information
