Wildlands Conservancy summer camp begins June 12

Join staff at Wildlands Conservancy for a fascinating summer of adventure, where tomorrow’s environmental stewards take root.

This summer there will be 11 weeks of enriching, nature-based fun at the Dorothy Rider Pool Wildlife Sanctuary in Emmaus, as well as Community Park near Bethlehem, Hopewell Park in Center Valley, Lone Lane Park, Upper Macungie, and Ontelaunee Park, New Tripoli.

The camps, beginning June 12, will be offered at several levels, including: You and Me for 3-5 year-olds and their grown-ups, pre-kindergarten and for students who have completed kindergarten through second grade, third through fifth grade, and sixth grade and higher.

Choose from a number of different camp themes, including developing outdoor wildlife tracking and survival skills, enjoying water activities while learning about our 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.

Explore Ontelaunee Park, which offers two weeks of a variety of wildlife water adventures; enjoy learning about wildlife, meeting our Animal Ambassadors 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 campers.

Camps fill up quickly, as space is limited, so early registration is encouraged.
