Habitat Nature Camp

Habitat Nature Camp has been engaging children in nature study since 1974. 

We are guided by a philosophy of discovery, providing campers with opportunities to explore, question, and connect in nature.

We encourage campers, ages 4–14, to explore their surroundings and discover new interests and talents. We inspire campers to question and challenge their understanding of nature and their own place within it. Our camp community is welcoming and responsive and connects new and returning campers to lasting friendships.

2025 Camp Registration Details

Online registration opens January 22, 2025, at 6:00 am. To make sure you’re prepared, please read our registration instructions ahead of time. To ensure that as many children as possible are able to participate in camp, families may register each camper for no more than one 2-week and one 1-week session of camp. Please note: All camp families registering at Tiers 4 or 5 must have an active membership at the family level or higher for the duration of the camp session. All families registering must pay a deposit to reserve their camp session.
