EXPLORE WITH US ON A NATURE DISCOVERY DAY CAMP

Where:

The Cross Conservation Area is a 4800 acre nature preserve located 1.5 km. S.W. of the Calgary City limits. Join us for a fun filled week of nature exploration and conservation! Each day you will embark on a new outdoor adventure and share in the important lessons of nature by exploring colourful wildflowers, the amazing mini-world of insects, pond life, birds of prey, and wildlife large and small. All camps are for children ages 6-9 (must be finished Grade 1).

Imagine yourself on a Foothills safari, exploring the wonderfully wet and wild world of pond life, traipsing through the trees of the Aspen Forest, and peeking through the tall grasses of the prairie. Here you can listen to nature's melodies, the buzzing of insects, the songs of birds, the hammering of woodpeckers, and the croaking of frogs. You will need to use your eyes, ears and nose on your nature adventure. Along with outdoor hikes and games you will also have fun with arts and crafts at our indoor education center.
