PA DAY CAMPS

 

PA Day Camps at Albion Hills

Join our team this 2024-25 school year for PA Day Nature Camps at Albion Hills Conservation Park. Children will spend their days outdoors, making connections with nature and exploring the unique features of Albion Hills.

Each camp is themed to respond to the changing of seasons. In the winter, we will uncover the secrets of animal adaptations and enjoy captivating winter solstice stories. As spring arrives, we will explore how nature awakens and transforms with warmer weather. Approaching summer, campers will dive into their wilderness survival skills and orienteering adventures.

With guided trails explorations, engaging nature-based activities, and plenty of outdoor fun, every PA Day is a chance to connect with nature, make new friends, and create lasting memories.
