Summer Camp
The Barn Nature Center Summer Camps offer youth the chance to get up close and personal with our  over 50 rescued and re-homed animal  residents. During our week-long programs, campers will embark on adventures filled with animals, science, arts and crafts and many other fun activities! Campers have the opportunity to become animal caretakers and will learn what it takes to keep our animal friends happy and healthy. They will assist our staff in the daily animal care, bathing, grooming, weighing, handling, and designing enrichment for our animals. We'll play interactive and educational games, work together to complete team building challenges, and even learn how to be an animal educator!

This year we will be hosting 4 weeks of Summer Camps, each with their own theme! See the different options below!

​All of our Summer Camps are designed for youth entering grades first though sixth. 
We are happy to offer a $50 discount off total cost, should a child enroll in all 4 weeks!
All camps run 9:00am-3:00pm
