ECO U 2008 CAMPS
June 2 through June 27, 2008

Eco U is an experiential nature camp for youth entering grades 1-6. Touch of Nature Environmental Center's 3,100 beautiful acres on serene Little Grassy Lake set the stage for this camp. With nature as our playground, Eco U's professional staff will provide innovative, inspiring, and safe environmental activities to enhance each camper's ecological awareness and understanding. Each week has a different theme around which the activities will be based. Campers may attend one week, any combination of weeks, or all four weeks. Each day will be filled with hands-on activities for the campers.

Week 1, June 2-6: Animal Adventures. In every nook and cranny, animals are amazing.

Week 2, June 9-13: Wonderful Water. Below the surface, it's a whole new world . . .

Week 3, June 16-20: Survival 101. Explore the way Native Americans used the land to meet their basic needs.

Week 4, June 23-27: Eco You! Your planet: How to protect and enhance its health.
