Make Your Child a Happy Camper!
Every child dreams of camp–exploring creeks, singing silly songs and frolicking in the forest. Summer 2021, the Kenai Watershed Forum is happy to offer week-long day camps, tree planting workshops and “pop-up camps.” Wilderness, Wildlife & Wonder will be offering several locally-focused, science and environmental-themed sessions, for kids aged 6-12.
All sessions will involve fostering a connection to nature through a hands-on, immersion in the outdoors, allowing them to see, feel, smell and directly experience the flora and fauna of the Kenai Peninsula watershed for themselves.
Camp size is limited so reserve your spot early! Scholarships are available.

Different Sessions for Different Ages
To ensure campers get the most out of their experience, we offer different sessions for different ages with slightly different focus areas. Children should be dropped off ready for action by 9am, with pick-up at 2pm.
June 7 – 11 ~ Novice Naturalist Camp, ages 6-8
June 21 – 25 ~ Novice Naturalist Camp, ages 6-8
June 29 and/or 30 ~ Tree Planting Workshop, ages 6-12
TBA ~ Pop-Up Camps
Novice Naturalists ~ Camp for Ages 6-8
These sessions are designed to begin building a basic foundation of science in small children upon which more advanced environmental understandings can be built later in life. These sessions will include informative lessons and games, nature-themed art projects, presentations by plant and/or animal experts, and field forays such as hikes in the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge.
*Please note: Children must have completed Kindergarten to participate in this camp.
