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, and fall. Grades K-10 are open to attend in the summer. Children participate in hands-on science investigations outdoors and in the classrooms at the PNC Achievement Center.
Summer Break Camp: June 3 – August 2, 2024
Fall Break Camp: September 30 – October 4, 2024
Winter Break Camp: December 23, 2024 – January 3, 2025
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.
Camp hours are Mon-Fri 9 AM–4 PM. Drop-off is from 8:30 – 9 a.m. and pick-up is from 4 – 4:30 p.m.
