Parklands Outdoor Adventure day camps let kids experience nature up close through activities like creek walking, hiking, kayaking, and biking. We offer these outdoor exploration-based camps to children in grades K–6 in the winter, spring, summer, and fall. Grades 7-9 are open to attend in the summer. Children participate in hands-on science investigations outdoors and in the classrooms at the PNC Achievement Center and Parklands Administration Building.

Outdoor Adventure Camps
Learn and explore.
All of our programs balance in-classroom learning for elementary to middle grade kids with hands-on outdoor explorations, so kids can be kids. Depending on the season, activities include hiking, fishing, games, archery, kayaking, biking and creek walking. Campers must bring a snack, a bottle of water, and their own sack lunch each day. Parklands Members receive a discounted camp price. Scroll below for a link to more detailed camp information.
