If you love nature and adventure, this is the camp for you! Campers will kayak the Little Harpeth River, cook over a campfire, hike up creek beds and hill sides, and more during this week of camp. We will also build naturalist skills as we wander and investigate the forests, fields, ponds, and waterways of the Warner Parks. Please note: Campers will typically hike up to 2 miles most days, with some days involving hikes of 4–5 miles throughout the day.Additional Information

⚠️ Allergies
Be advised that Warner Park Nature Center is not a nut-free facility and does not prevent campers from bringing lunches or snacks containing common food allergens. Campers will eat lunch and snacks outdoors and can be spaced out appropriately if allergies are a concern. Campers will wash hands or use hand sanitizer before and after every meal. If your camper has an Epi-Pen for any food or environmental allergies, they must carry it on their person at all times.
