Habitat Nature Day Camp | Philosophy & Credentials

Our Philosophy

Habitat Summer Camp has been offering children opportunities to get close to nature since 1974. We are committed to providing quality outdoor experiences that are guided by a philosophy of discovery.

Our motto is Explore, Question, Connect. We encourage campers to explore their surroundings and discover new interests and talents; to question their understanding of the natural world and their place within it; and to connect with nature and with others in a way that facilitates heightened appreciation and enduring relationships.
