Some Audubon Summer Day Camps Already Full

Jamestown, NY – Maybe it’s because registration is simpler.

Maybe it’s because you have to register early to be able to buy a t-shirt.

Or maybe it’s because they’re just so much fun that some Audubon Community Nature Center (ACNC) Day Camps for next summer are already full.

Forest Adventures, Furballs, Art of Nature, Wanderers, Wild Things, Teen Treks and Tween Treks are a few of the opportunities still open for preschoolers through 12^th graders.

Audubon camps have one basic rule: Respect. Respect nature. Respect yourself. Respect others and their things. ACNC believes that all children benefit from having great experiences outdoors, learning more about the natural world and more about themselves.

ACNC’s Day Camps are run by a mix of seasoned naturalists, interns and trained assistants. All of the naturalists have over 10 years of experience working with children in informal education settings. Interns have experience working with children and teach for a month at Audubon before they teach day camp. Middle and high school assistants go through a leadership course to learn expectations and more about leading small groups of children.

ACNC members receive discounted rates. Scholarships are available on the basis of merit, interest, and need.

For all the details and to register, call (716) 569-2345 during business hours or visit auduboncnc.org/daycamp.
