Natural History Day Camps (June 22 - 26 and July 6 - 10)

NATURE CAMP 2009: Nature lovers entering grades three through seven will not want to miss the Natural History Day Camps (June 22 - 26 and July 6 - 10) taking place at the Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve this summer. Planning is under way for two fun-filled weeks in the outdoors sponsored by the Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy, Piedmont Environmental Council, Loudoun County Parks and Recreation, and the Friends of Banshee Reeks.

This is a great camp filled with environmental education opportunities. Campers will explore the woods, fields and waters of the preserve and learn about the plants and animals that live there. The camps will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. The cost will be only $130 per week, and space is limited. Banshee Reeks is located five miles south of Leesburg off of Route 15. For more information contact LWC’s Phil Daley at 540-338-6528 or pedaley@verizon.net. Here's a quick look back at Nature Camp 2008.

 

My son went to this camp 2 (or maybe 3?) years in a row when he was younger and loved it! It is so well run, by caring people. It was like an old fashioned camp experience, with simple camp games and activities in the great outdoors. The location is very special, out in the woods; it is the undisturbed part of our county and the drive there is so fun. I highly recommend this camp.
