Hello!
Today I am going to camp at Locust Grove Nature Center!
I have packed my bag with everything I need. I have:
A water bottle
Close-toed shoes
Clothes that can get dirty
A nut free lunch
Sunscreen
When I get to camp, I walk across the bridge and down the path.
My adult checks me in at the front table, making sure I have everything I need.
When I come inside, I can choose a cubby to put my bag in. Then I get a name tag.
This is a good time for me to go to the bathroom, too.
Next, it’s time to play outside in the Nature Exploration Area! I go with a counselor out the back door and through the gate.
There is so much to do here! I can play in the mud kitchen, climb the beehive, and more.
If the weather isn’t good for going outside, we will play in the Program Room.
Once everyone is here, we have a morning meeting at the fire pit. We say hello, learn the rules, and hear the plan for the day.
Each day of camp, we have different fun activities! Here are some of the things I may do:
Go for hikes and search for animals
Collect and release insects
Meet an animal at the nature center
Visit the sycamore tree
Dig for dinosaur fossils
Explore the creek
After all our adventures for the day, we return to the Nature Exploration Area to play.
A counselor brings me to my adult after I am checked out and ready to go!
Camp Expectations
When I’m at camp, I will make sure to:
Follow directions so I stay safe
Stay with a counselor or group at all times
Leave nature where I find it. We only touch what a counselor says is safe, and we put everything back
Stay on the trails. To help us stay safe, we need to, “Look down, stay on the brown!”
Have a fun and safe week at camp!
