CincyNature Camp

CincyNature Camps are a fun way for children to actively challenge their mind and bodies, and use their creativity and imaginations in a natural setting.

Each camp offers unique, age-appropriate activities that expose children to new and exciting outdoor adventures in a safe and friendly environment.

Creek Day Camp

Registration now open!

Registrations take place online in our UltraCamp system. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Monday, October 14, 9 am–4 pm

Ages 5–10 at Rowe Woods Visitor Center

Immerse yourself in the watery worlds around Rowe Woods. Dig your hands into natural clay as you follow the meandering creek, find fossils from ancient creatures, and lift rocks to see what animals call the creek their home. Come prepared to get muddy and wet as you explore aquatic habitats with your new friends. Your ventures will be overflowing with fun as you play your favorite camp games, sing your favorite camp songs, and learn about what makes our aquatic areas so special! Campers will split into smaller, age-appropriate groups upon arrival.

With Family Membership $70; without Family Membership or nonmember $85.

Summer Camp Registration Opens February 2025!

Registrations take place online in our UltraCamp system. Spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

CincyNature Camps provide a safe and inclusive environment for children to experience the natural world through hands-on activities. Each week, campers explore different habitats, make nature-inspired crafts, play endless games, and sing silly songs with their new friends. Our trained counselors will help instill a love for nature as they guide campers throughout the week. Fresh air, hands-on activities, close encounters with animals and plants, and increased knowledge of the natural world help build confidence, passion, and knowledge about the environment.

Member and nonmember pricing varies per camp program. See the CincyNature Camp brochure (below) for more details.
