Free Range Children - Summer Camps 2012 |
What are Free Range Children Camps?
Do you remember those long lazy days of summer when you were a child, traipsing through the woods, building forts, turning over rocks and digging in the dirt? Your child can have those experiences and more in our Free Range Children Camps this summer. Children will be immersed in the exploration of nature through outdoor play, hands on activities and interactions with our birds of prey. Your child will be encouraged to become active and at ease outdoors while learning that the natural world provides endless adventures. |

Why Free Range Children?
Unfortunately, many children today are growing up without positive outdoor experiences. Consequently,this lack of connection with the outdoors and nature will have a profound impact on public health, state and local economies, and environmental stewardship. To be effective and healthy leadersin the future, our children need to get outside and connect to the natural world now.
