Choose from a number of different camp themes, including developing outdoor wildlife tracking and survival skills, enjoying water activities while learning about the local watershed, lessons in ornithology (meeting and working with a practicing ornithologist), becoming a planet protector (with practicing conservationists) and generally discovering the thrill of science, technology and engineering surrounded by the beauty of the natural world. Enter a world of nature-inspired fantasy and adventure during Realm of the Forest and Wildlands Server week or step into a story and find out how it is related to natural wonders during Stories for the Wild Child camp. Explore Ontelaunee Park, which offers two weeks of a variety of wildlife water adventures; enjoy learning about wildlife, meeting animals and participating in a number of experiments and games at Lone Lane Park, Community Park, or Hopewell Park.

Many weeks will feature special guests who are experts in their fields from all over the Lehigh Valley and will help create meaningful hands-on experiences for our campers.
