We are sorry to announce our 2020 Summer Camps have been cancelled.
With the current state mandates, and keeping our campers, their families and our staff safe, we had to make this difficult decision.
Please keep an eye out for some half-day pop-up camps offered throughout the coming months!
Make Your Child a Happy Camper!
Every child dreams of camp–exploring creeks, singing silly songs and frolicking in the forest. The Kenai Watershed Forum is happy to offer the week-long day camp, this year’s camp theme is “Wilderness, Wildlife & Wonder” and 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.
Camp Staff
Different Sessions for Different Ages
Camp Hours: 9am to 4pm Children are asked to be dropped off at Soldotna Creek Park and ready for the day’s activities by 9am. Children will be finished with their camp day and ready for pick-up at 4pm.
To ensure campers get the most out of their experience, we offer different sessions for different ages with slightly different focus areas.
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.
2020 Sessions *subject to change with regards of Corona Virus restrictions

Intermediate Ecologists ~ Camp for Ages 9-12
These sessions involve empowering the slightly older participants with more advanced concepts related to understanding environmental processes, with an added dimension of introducing them to environmental study and stewardship.
