7th Grade Naturalist Program

Campers in this program will remain at the main camp for the week and will loosely follow the regular camp daily schedule. The Naturalist Program is offered to girls that have just graduated 7th grade and it is held the last week of camp. This unique program is a transition from the usual 3rd through 6th grade camp schedule of swimming, crafts and nature to an individualized and varied schedule, different from any other.
