Mini Camps

Children ages 1-5 with an adult buddy

If you have one little guy or several under the age of 6, this is a great opportunity to bring everyone to ONE CAMP. In this hour long camp, children will learn to analyze their surroundings and begin their love of exploration of the outside world through crafts, activities, songs, stories and hikes. These camps are a great stepping stone for little ones to spend time with other children and have the comfort of a loved one nearby. Please remember to dress for the weather since we’ll be playing outside. A prepackaged goodie and bottle of water will be available for snack time for each child. Location for these programs will be in the Rock Springs Nature Center – Washburn Classroom. Each camp accepts a minimum of 4 participants and a maximum of 12. Mini Camps are $8 per child. Online registration required.
