Eco-Explorer Camp 

Children entering 3^rd grade in the fall of 2012

Using an old map to guide them, campers explore a different Lake Forest area ecosystem each day. Through hands on activities, nature exploration, games and crafts campers learn about and become immersed in the prairie, wetland, savanna, forest and lakeshore. After exploring a different habitat each day, campers get their “passports” stamped and mark their discoveries on the map. A trip to the Lincoln Park Zoo rounds out the experience.
