A nature and ecology camp for 6-10 year olds, with different themes each week at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne, VA

 

Welcome to the outdoors! Our Eco Quest Camp helps our campers (ages 6-10) develop an appreciation and respect for the outdoors and nature. Campers participate in wildlife observation, nature walks, arts and crafts, exploring challenges, and a variety of indoor and outdoor sports. Each week will host a different theme/area of interest as well as include a great animal show! Our camp program also includes a daily free swim as well as afternoon ice cream/popsicle snack, Eco Quest Camp T-shirt, and an Eco Quest adventure kit.
