New Year's Camp (day camp)

Join us at ONSC for 3 days of exploring winter wonders at Lake Fayetteville!  We will explore the various adaptations of animals and plants over the winter months, learn how to find and identify signs of animals in the wintertime (especially tracks and scat), winter tree identification, winter weather phenomena, and much more! 

This camp is for ages 7 - 14.
