Camp Nature Trunks
There are times when a Counselors’ daily activity plan can be enhanced by reaching into
a Trunk of nature activities and games geared to either direct young camper energy in active
play or engage campers in quietly focused time to refresh everyone’s wellspring of camaraderie.
Ask us about Camp Nature Trunks as a stand alone purchase or combined with the nature workshops
described above.
Training for Camp Counselors
Take the science information above and extrapolate an age appropriate series for in-coming
Counselors and Specialists. Rather like an immersion survey course on island habitat,
Training for Camp Counselors establishes the foundation for in-house
peer education and the where-with-all to conduct solid natural science sessions for campers. You
will learn the essential tools, those from which you may continue to develop and refine on your own.
Academic Year
During the school year, San Juan Nature Institute educators assist teachers in providing experiential learning
based on the topics listed above. These in-class sessions may be comprised of a single visit or expanded to include
a field trip.
For extended inquiry based natural science projects for school age students, read about San Juan Nature
Institute’s Partners in Science.
Funding
A tuition schedule is available upon request. Designated sponsorships for a specific group or child are welcome
and encouraged.

Offering early-learning science knowledge during a morning or afternoon of active outdoor discovery in our varied
and pristine island meadows, forests, and watersheds, is an extraordinary match for young energetic minds. One to
three hours in length, summer Young Naturalists engage in field based, hands-on science lead by environmental educators
skilled in integrating nature studies with art, writing, and ecological role-playing games.
