For Students
Entering: Grades 6-8
Dates: June 22 - 27
Echo Adventure Camp has a new name! Eco-Adventure Camp is now a six-day residential camp for students in grades 6-8 who want to participate in exciting outdoor challenges, while learning about our natural echosystems. Campers will have the opportunity to participate in an overnight camping trip and a day long canoe adventure. While exploring the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem, campers will learn about the various problems and solutions to Bay health and will even participate in a habitat restoration project. Campers will gain self-confidence and learn cooperation and teamwork by participating in the Initiative and Confidence Course. Campers will develop skills in canoeing, tent camping, fishing, campfire cooking, and much more.
Our trained pool staff will support water safety instruction and canoeing skills. Other activities include fishing, crabbing, archery and camp crafts.
