2024 Summer Explore Camp

Summer 2024 was a week of returning and new campers and a lot of new adventures! We were visited by the Game Commission and their K-9 unit, Tamarack Wildlife Rehabilitation Center and their ambassadors, and the Purple Martin Association. In addition to our exploration of Wildlife (not including what we discovered while exploring the Park on a daily basis) we dove into Aquatics (some of us literally!). We hosted PA SeaGrant and learned about aquatic invasive species in addition to a full creek walk. Steve Laskowski, our DCNR Service Forester, took the group on a scavenger hunt through the old growth forest. The entire week was topped off by our campers engineering cardboard boats to try and paddle in the creek! Sprinkled throughout the week were crafts, snacks, laughs, and experiencing new friendships and outdoor learning. Looking forward to 2025 :)
