Waterman Center Camps
Every summer we offer two camp programs. Both camps are held primarily outdoors and include daily hikes, crafts, games, and more. Join us for a summer of fun and learning about the nature around us!
​
Campers should be prepared with appropriate closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, insect repellant, and adequate attire for the day. Campers will need to bring water, snacks, and lunch every day. Other helpful, but not required materials include a sketch pad, notebook, journal, water shoes, a cheap magnifying glass, or cheap binoculars.
​
This year we are offering early drop-off (8:30 am) and late pick-up (4:00 pm). These will be at an additional cost. $25 for early drop-off and $50 for late pick-up or combined $60 per week.

This camp takes our normal recreation camp but takes learning to the next level with experiments, nature journaling and more!
​
Tuition is $200 per week and includes a Waterman EXPLORE
t-shirt. Open to children ages 6 - 11. Payment should be made in full with completed registration materials to secure your child’s spot.
