Kids were able to enjoy the woods and fields during summer camp last week! Forest Preserve Naturalists lead activities based on a different nature theme each day. They taught children about native animals and plants in their habitats, the web of life and lots more!

We’re offering another week of Summer Camp in July! Sign up your child, entering grades 1st – 6th for a “Week in the Woods,” Monday, July 9 – Friday, July 13, from 9 a.m. – noon at Creek Bend Nature Center. The fee is $150/child.
