Year after year, DPNC is voted the area’s best summer nature camp, and with good reason!  Our campers spend their days hiking, exploring and learning about our animals, woods, meadows, streams and local habitats. We are passionate about sharing outdoor fun, adventure, games, new skills, confidence building, education and natural history knowledge. A strong environmental ethic develops in children who learn to love being outdoors. Nature camp builds the foundation for a lifetime of love and respect for the environment. Plus, it’s fun!

Our summer day camps for children ages 3 to 15 support the DPNC mission: to inspire an understanding of the natural world and ourselves as a part of it – past, present and future. Camp registration opens for members on Wednesday, January 10 and for non members on Wednesday, January 24. And DPNC members don’t just get early access to camp registration, they also get 15% off camp tuition! Click here if you’d like to become a DPNC member.
