Nature
Camp is a private, non-profit, residential, co-ed summer camp specializing
in natural history and environmental science education, one of the
oldest of its kind in the country. Since 1942 Nature Camp has sought
to train a corps of interested, knowledgeable youth, 5th - 12th grades,
to conserve and protect the environment and to become wise stewards
of the earth's natural resources.
Nestled in an isolated, idyllic valley by Big Mary's Creek in the
Blue Ridge Mountains of Rockbridge County, Nature Camp is founded
on the principle that no one can be expected to save the world who
doesn't care about the world, and no one can be expected to care about
the natural world who doesn't know about and understand it.
We seek to foster an appreciation for and love of nature by inviting
the campers to explore the world around them through hands-on, outdoor,
experiential learning. In so doing we hope to inspire the young people
of today to become environmentally responsible and conscientious citizens
of tomorrow. |
