ECO ADVENTURE NATURE CAMP STARTS JUNE 15
See below for dates & themes.
Rotary Park offers a variety of interesting and informative programs throughout the year for adults and children.
For children, Rotary Park offers “Eco Adventure Nature Camp” every summer. This camp is for 8-12 year olds who like to be outside; camp includes exploring, hiking, bug hunting and just about anything that has to do with nature. The majority of the camp takes place in a swamp, so children should come prepared to face insects, muck and swamp creatures. PLEASE SCROLL DOWN FOR MORE DETAILS.
For adults, there are programs on how to garden using native plants, landscape design, re-potting orchids, growing bromeliads, palm tree care, herb gardening, woodcarving and exercise classes for all fitness levels to name a few. In addition, the staff at Rotary Park organizes programs off-site, such as guided kayaking trips and nature walks, at various locations including Four Mile Cove Ecological Preserve.
For more information on specific programs, or to view upcoming class dates/times, please see the Rotary Park pages of the current Parks & Recreation Program Guide or go to Register Online for detailed descriptions and to get registered.
