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 week-long day camps, tree planting workshops and “pop-up camps.”
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.
