State Park Camp

Our five day camp immerses students, in a total outdoor experience. As students explore different habitats and environments, they dig into the past and learn of the present. In the process, individuals work toward the goals of noticing the world around them, asking questions, and posing potential research topics. During this time they will create a journal full of observations, sketches, ideas, and questions. STATE PARK SUMMER CAMP Cost of Camp $350.00 - In addition to our two professional facilitators, camp participants will interact with high school students with hiking experience. The camp cost will cover bus transportation to field experiences, Friday lunch in Historic St. Charles, snacks and drinks for the week. Every camp participant will receive a learning journal, a camp t- shirt, and a commemorative photo package of their experience.

State Parks
Missouri State Parks provide us with the opportunity to hike through a wide variety of settings. The health and fitness aspects alone validate this experience. But we will also find a wealth of historical information along our journey. We will be amazed when we find a pileated woodpecker, a beaver, or a lizard. We might see a little brown bat, a walking stick, or even a Great Blue Heron. Adventures await...
