Summer Nature Camps 2012
REGISTRATION STARTS March 9th!

Seward Park Environmental & Audubon Center offers 6 weeks of camps designed to connect youth with the natural world that surrounds them in the city of Seattle. Youth ages 10-14 can spend their summer outdoors and experience nature through hands-on activities that include field trips, hikes, games, and crafts. Camps are held almost entirely outdoors, Monday through Friday from 9 AM – 3 PM. From learning how to fish to understanding the techniques of digital photography, our camps are designed to provide youth with a great outdoor camp experience. “Camp Out in the Center” Thursdays during Adventure and Naturalist Camps includes camp fire dinner, night hike, and overnight in the Center.

“Audubon camp is so much fun I can’t wait until next summer!” 2011 Outdoor Adventure Camper
