Ages 1-7 TINKERGARTEN FOREST CAMP with adult: June 3-6 at First Landing State Park (10-12:30 M-Th)
Ages 8-12 NATURE QUEST* SUMMER CAMP: July 15-19 AND Aug 5-9 (9am - 3pm)
Ages 13-15 TEEN NATURE QUEST* CAMP: June 17-21 (9am - 3pm)
The Nature Bus has 16 seats, allowing 16 campers per camp session. *Please note: To ensure the best possible experience for all campers, we request a teacher recommendation for each student enrolling in Nature Quest camps.
Hop on board The Nature Bus and explore outdoor nature activities and adventures. Campers will depart daily from REI in Town Center, Virginia Beach, and activities will include visits to different outdoor parks and nature preserves each day, allowing for the exploration of a variety of ecosystems, and hands-on, up-close identification of plants and animals (including native plants and pollinators).
Campers will learn about the use of naturalist tools & methods, birding, swimming, nature journaling, watercolor painting, nature meditations, eco arts, naturalist challenges, environmental stewardship, and so much more!
The overall "vibe" of Nature Bus camps is a peaceful feeling. Camp days are filled with zen-like, relaxed activities to encourage campers to use their senses to experience nature in a manner in which naturalists approach the natural world. Our goal is to awe children/teens, inspire a sense of wonder, and develop their naturalist skills.
