Discovery Day Camp at the Nature Institute
The Nature Institute (TNI) is shouting from the treetops, “44 years of adventure!” Since 1982, when Aune Nelson sparked the Discovery Day Camp into life, kiddos in the Riverbend area have been turning summers into epic nature quests. We're talking trail hikes, creek splashes, and wild plant and critter hunts! This year? Buckle up, because TNI's turning the fun dial to eleven with fresh themes and a middle school camp-out that's the stuff of summer dreams.
Lauren Scull, our Education Extraordinaire, and Dave Schiber, the Nature Guru, are chomping at the bit to see their master plans come alive when campers and counselors hit the scene for days of nature-filled shenanigans. Lauren's jazzed about layering in new themes and activities each week, saying, "We're so lucky to have a community that's all about getting their families into the great outdoors. Their support is like rocket fuel for our programs!"
