Camp Experience
CNC offers day camps throughout the year including School's Out Camp Days, one week of winter camp in February, one week of spring camp in April, and ten weeks of summer camp from late June through early September. Campers explore nature on our diverse property - all themes and activities center around environmental and outdoor education. Children play with and explore our six-story tree house, animal collection, TEAM Challenge course, and nature trails, and leave with knowledge and appreciation for the natural world.
Russ Friedell, our Camp Director explains the fun experience your camper can have at CNC!
