Is your child wild about wildlife? Do they love learning about navigating the world around them? Do you constantly find them wanting to explore the world of design and building? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there’s good news: Swaner’s camps are for you!
Swaner Preserve and EcoCenter’s educational summer camp programs will inspire and fascinate your child through week-long exploration and discovery about the natural world through STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). Swaner offers summer camp programs for youth entering kindergarten through 8th grade in Fall 2018. Parents should enroll their children based on what grade they will enter.
In addition to opportunities for youth entering Kindergarten through 8th grades, Swaner also provides leadership development opportunities for teens entering 9th through 12th grades during our summer camp programs.
Teens can apply to be camp counselors and help Swaner’s camps run smoothly and safely! Applications are available on the Swaner website and are due May 11th.
