Hikes, crafts and activities will enhance your child’s appreciation and understanding of the natural world and historic past all around them!
For those children who are 6-7 years old and have completed kindergarten, DCP is offering Nature; From the Group Up! We will begin the week digging in the dirt and work our way up to the sky.

Camp will be held from 9:30am-12:00pm and the cost is $65.
8-9 year olds need to be prepared to get wet! During this Wet, Wild and Wonderful camp, we will discover the different types of insects, birds, and amphibians in Darke County.
