Earth Heroes camp is crafted for participants 6 to 9 year old and appeals to all kids who love exploring the outdoors. Our goal is to foster an understanding of and appreciation for our urban parks and the life that thrives in them. We will discover and explore the magic of our surroundings, diving into diverse eco systems and learning to identify the plants and animals and their roles in each. This unique opportunity provides professional instruction and guidance in learning to explore and enjoy the natural world around us through activities like hands-on experiences with flora, nature-inspired games, and captivating art projects, all focusing on discovery and fun. Campers will also be swimming and exploring in the James River itself. Life jackets will be worn while swimming. From rock hopping along the river banks and discovering what lives in the shallow pools on the river's edge, to identifying trees in the forest, to witnessing an osprey on the hunt, this camp is all about learning to love and value our natural spaces right here in the city. Camp is led by experienced environmental and outdoor educators, and many of our activities tie in with Virginia SOLs. Earth Heroes campers will also get to do one of our most popular climbing elements – the Flying Squirrel! As always, our climbing elements are challenge-by-choice, and Flying Squirrel is completely customizable to give each camper the exact level of excitement they want!
