6:30-7PM *Bonus section on being an ONSC Summer Camp Volunteer Chaperone!
This summer, we’re offering an amazing lineup of day camps at Lake Fayetteville and overnight camps at our beautiful main campus just north of Huntsville. Whether it’s hiking through the woods, hands-on science fun, or stargazing by the fire, our camps are all about meaningful, high-quality experiences in the great outdoors. 🌌🐾

🦋 Join the Fun as a Volunteer Chaperone!
We’re looking for awesome, enthusiastic volunteers to help bring the magic of camp to life. As a chaperone, you’ll team up with our staff to supervise campers during all sorts of activities—from field investigations (aka nature hikes!) to creative lessons, mealtimes, lodge hangouts, and more.
✨ Bonus: You get to join in the fun too!
🛑 Heads-up: All adults working directly with ONSC program students and/or campers must have a clear background check before participating.
