CREA's camps help foster your child's natural curiosity in both the sciences and the arts. Campers will explore nature through outdoor excursions and guided activities around our vernal pool, river, and forest trails. We also use microscopes, play with puppets, and create art projects in our Ecology Center. Directions »
