What is Discovery Day Camp at The Nature Institute?                                                               

Did you know that children are spending half as much time outdoors as they did 20 years ago?

You will find The Nature Institute's (TNI) Discovery Day Camp to be a perfect place for fun, education, and well supervised opportunities for your children to interact with nature. Your child won’t just hear about the outdoors, they will go out into the natural world and experience it for themselves! Your children may get their feet wet wading in a creek, create a tie-dye shirt, or land a first fish.

TNI has offered this quality day camp experiences for the youth of Riverbend area for over 30 years. Their enthusiastic staff will provide a safe, caring atmosphere with age appropriate activities for children aged Pre-K through 6th grade.

Campers will have a fun, hands-on, outdoor experience while developing a lifelong love and appreciation of our natural world. Campers will experience outdoor fun while they learn through activities, hikes, free play, arts and crafts, and more!

Children will observe wild animals in the woodlands and prairies during camp. They will learn how to improve habitats, read what nature is telling them, understand which animals are in danger of extinction, and also what animals have made a comeback due to habitat improvement. Participants will learn how to take positive actions outdoors and become good stewards of the land in their own backyard.
