Forest Ecology Mini Camp
Step into the woods for a day of discovery! In this immersive camp, participants will explore Indiana’s forests, learn what makes them unique, and meet some of the wildlife that call them home. From guided hikes to hands-on activities, campers will gain a deeper understanding of forest ecosystems and how animals, plants, and people are all connected. We’ll also get creative with nature-inspired crafts and spend plenty of time outdoors enjoying the sights, sounds, and smells of the forest.
