Summer days of trees, water, birds, and friendships
Come explore the natural world with Seward Park Audubon Center Nature Camps, where every day is an adventure waiting to happen.

Birding, swimming, and imaginative games are all part of this wild, joyful summer experience beneath towering trees and beside cool lake waters.
