Summer Camp

Dyken Pond Center’s

Outdoor Adventure Camp 2025 Information Coming Soon!

Exploring nature is  the best way to enjoy summer.  Catching salamanders, fishing, roasting s’mores and building new skills engages the mind and fosters a love of nature and continued learning in the summer.  Each one-week session will offer age-appropriate activities. Kids learn to build their own campfire, discover what animals live here, how plants were used as medicine and great tips for fishing.  Each day will be an exciting blend of fun and learning taught through games, crafts, hikes, and hands-on discoveries.

Why Choose Outdoor Adventure Camp?

The Outdoor Adventure Camp fosters a love of nature by:

  • allowing kids to “unplug” and explore their environment
  • dedicating time each day to unstructured outdoor play, which research shows nurtures creativity, problem solving skills, higher level thinking, and independence
  • keeping campers excited about learning and growing in ways that keep their minds engaged and focused throughout the school vacation
