Adventure and Discovery
The VINS Nature Camp mission is to help young people develop the life skills necessary to be a positive force for their community and the environment.
By exploring the diversity of nature’s living creatures and habitats, VINS Nature Camp nurtures each child's curiosity and helps them to build respectful, caring relationships with themselves, others, and the natural world.
Each day of camp is another opportunity for your child to join an exciting journey to reveal the wonders of the natural world. Whether it is a hike through the woods, a closer look at an insect under the magnifying glass, a messy craft, or a group game that reinforces the value of teamwork; VINS Nature Camp programs are an invaluable and exciting learning experience for children.
VINS’ professional and highly trained staff, and un-paralleled collection of resident raptors, ensures that your camper will have a unique and enriching summer camp experience.
