DPNC’s Summer Nature Camp 2015: A New Approach to an Old Favorite

Mystic, CT – The Denison Pequotsepos Nature Center’s 2015 Summer Nature Camp has undergone a makeover - the same great experiences for children ages 3-15, brought to a new level with the addition of weekly theme camps.
 
“We’re excited to be unveiling a new approach to our Nature Camp,” said Camp Director Pauline Gaucher, who took over running the camp for the 2014 season. “We spent the winter developing themes for each week of camp that we know will provide a greater learning experience for our campers, and also lots more fun!”

Nature Camp will again offer 11 sessions, beginning June 8. Our camps for ages 3 to 15 all work in concert with our mission: To inspire an understanding of the natural world and ourselves as a part of it – past, present and future. Our camps are guaranteed to provide your child with outdoor fun, education, adventure, natural history, games, new skills, discovering local natural habitats and confidence building.

Each of the 11 weeks of camp this year has a theme, and each camp’s curriculum has been created to match the theme. Themes include: Land & Water; Farm & Sea; Geology & Earth Science: Independence & Heritage; Survival Skills & Nature Crafts; Dinosaurs; Fairies, Gnomes & Mythical Creatures; Astronomy & Space; Superheroes; Sticks & Stones; and Water Week!

We also have unique and interesting collaborative camps with Mystic Seaport, New England Science and Sailing, and Mystic Arts Center that will add the dimensions of local history, maritime lore, the creative arts, sailing, kayaking and fishing to our environmental-based offerings.
