Junior/Teen Master Naturalist Camp offers hands-on opportunities to explore flora and fauna
Ouabache State Park and Friends of Ouabache State Park will offer Junior/Teen Naturalist Day Camp on June 5-9.
Kids ages 8 to 15 who want to learn more about nature and then share their knowledge with others can attend the Junior Indiana Master Naturalist day camp. The day camp runs from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Monday through Thursday and 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Friday.
The standard park entrance fee will be waived for students during class.
The Junior/Teen Indiana Master Naturalist Program provides youth with hands-on opportunities to learn about Indiana’s plants, water, soil and wildlife in an outdoor setting from natural resource specialists. It also provides a way to discover environmental stewardship through volunteer service.
The fee is $70 per student, $60 for each additional sibling. Students must register by May 22.
To register, contact Jody Heaston, DNR Division of State Parks volunteer coordinator, at jheaston@dnr.IN.gov or 463-203-6562, or visit stateparks.IN.gov/2975.htm.
