Nature connection in Gwynns Falls Leakin Park
SUMMER NATURE CAMP
We had so much fun at summer camp in 2024! We expanded to eight themed weeks of camp and welcomed over 80 campers to beautiful Gwynns Falls Leakin Park. Each week included free exploration, guided hiking, classic camp games and animal ambassador encounters along with themed activities.
JUNIOR NATURALIST CAMP
Junior naturalist campers explored the forest with a scientist's eye. We learned to identify plants and animals, made our own field guides, engineered shelters, and practiced our orienteering and mapmaking skills.
WILD COOKING CAMP
Wild cooking campers learned all about the edible opportunities of the forest: how to ID wild edibles and turn them into tasty snacks! We cooked daily, incorporating gathering, prep, cooking and cleanup into a daily schedule that also included plenty of goofing around.
NATURE ART CAMP
No insects were harmed! This beetle's body was discovered already dead.
During nature art week, campers explored their creative sides with visual and performing arts, from painting with natural ink and mud to storyboarding and acting in their own short films.
ADVENTURE CAMP
Our 'classic' camp, adventure weeks focused on big body movement, free and guided exploration, and getting in touch with the world around us! We climbed, ran, rolled, waded, and got down and dirty to really connect with the woods.
