Waterman Conservation Forest Recreation and Explore Camp

 

Fred L. Waterman Conservation Education Center has provided environmental education and outdoor recreation opportunities to the residents of Broome and Tioga counties for over 40 years.  Our mission is to promote environmental literacy while encouraging people to get outside and enjoy our natural areas.  For over 20 years we’ve offered a youth recreation day camp during the summer for children between the ages of 6 and 11 which includes games, hikes, crafts, and other activities.  This year, the camp will run from July 3rd until August 11th from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM.  The Waterman Center is a proud partner agency of the United Way of Tioga County.
