Expedition Delta: 1807 (Ages 6-12) – $240.00
Session date:
July 6-10
An immersive camp experience where campers take on the role of explorers sent on a fictional expedition by President Thomas Jefferson to explore the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Each activity carries a significance to the story of their adventure. Archery becomes hunting for their next meal, fire making becomes essential to surviving the night, and birdwatching is now cataloguing the avian life of the Delta for science. Each expeditionary will be issued a coonskin cap and toy flintlock rifle as part of their gear (for use during camp). If the mission is a success, a very significant person may pay the crew a visit!
Slime and Scales Camp (Ages 6-12) – $220.00

The perfect camp for kids who love all things reptilian or amphibian in nature! Campers will get to explore the woods and waters for frogs, learn about the astonishing diversity of turtles in our area, meet our ambassadors in the discovery hall, and participate in amphibian and reptile themed games and crafts.
