For campers in grades 5 - 6, Coastal Camp aims to promote an understanding of the interconnections in our natural world. Through adventure, games and investigations, we continue to foster environmental literacy and create a space where fun and learning meet.
Weeklong day camp sessions include daily lunch, snacks and a camp T-shirt (limit one per camper). Campers are grouped by their fall 2024 grade level.
