Junior Naturalists Camp & Junior Farmers Camp: Ages 4-5

Follow the leaf-covered trails to find out what animals call a fen, prairie or forest home! Meet a LIVE wildlife neighbor and learn more about the needs of animals. 

We all have special traits that make us unique! Animals also have traits that help them survive. Use your mind, speed and strength that will help you work as a team to jump through hoops, and run through obstacles.  Meet a LIVE animal who uses their special traits to jump from one tree to the next.

Farming, food and friends are what Farm Camp is about! Two days a week spend some time at DeLano Farms with our Farm Educator. Help take care of chickens, explore our farm fields and take a tractor-drawn wagon ride. Each session will highlight the changes the farm goes through during the growing season. On the camp side, campers will learn about compost and take care of the Camp garden and rabbit. Play games, make crafts and hear stories with creative and caring counselors. Grow new friendships and get a head start living on the farm!

Nature is a masterpiece! Look for familiar shapes in different habitats, experiment with color blending and meet a live box turtle, who uses their art as camouflage.

Nothing beats a hot summer day when you get to run, jump and splash in the water. Play water games, perform water experiments  and explore KNC’s different water habitats. Meet a LIVE animal that loves to be in water!
