Nature Day Camps
Overview:
Nature is all around us, and here in San Ramon we have so much to explore!
From solar oven s'mores and animal tracking to splash days on the playground; campers learn real life skills and explore nature with games, crafts, and fun lessons on wilderness survival, natural history, field biology, environmental science, and more! No week is the same, come back all summer for nature-filled fun!
Details:
For ages 6 - 11
This is a half-day camp from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
Monday / Tuesday / Thursday / Friday camp is held at Amador Rancho Center (1998 Rancho Park Loop Road, San Ramon, CA 94582) where there is access to air conditioning and water playground features for hot days.
Wednesdays are held at Crow Canyon Gardens (105 Park Pl, San Ramon, CA 94583). This historic 8-acre garden was once the MUDDs organic farm-to-table restaurant. The garden is a biological treasure and boasts one of San Ramon's few breeding populations of Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly. The garden also has access to San Ramon Creek for creek study activities, and dozens of edible and native plants for campers to practice plant identification with. It's an ideal spot for nature play.
Each Friday of Camp is "Splash Day" where the day's activities will be water themed, and campers will have an opportunity to get wet.
