Trekkers are explorers! Campers spend Mondays at Earthplace engaging in team building through pond studies, animal hall exploring, shelter building, and more. The rest of the weeks off-campus field trips are focused on nature discovery and environmental learning. Tuesdays Trekkers go canoeing, and Thursday nights they camp out. Campers pitch their tents and cook their dinners. Pick up from the overnight is Friday morning, and there is no camp for Trekkers that day.
