Summer fun begins outside! The Darien Nature Center’s Summer Camp program will run for seven weeks, from June 22nd to August 7th, for children ages 3 to 8. Each week will explore a different nature-inspired theme (such as Forest Friends, Adventures in Science, and Around the Campfire) and conclude with a performance on Fridays for families. Families may enroll à la carte by week.

Between February 3rd and 10th, Members of the Nature Center can fill out a registration request form and pull a lottery number that will determine their place in a virtual line for enrollment. Registration will open online to the public at 9:30 AM on Friday, February 14th. For more information visit dariennaturecenter.org/summer-camp.

Summer Camp Director Victoria Heyne says she’s developing a program that will enforce comfort and confidence in nature. “Our goal is to have fun while developing an appreciation for the landscape and animals around us,” Heyne says. “We’ll be doing it all - climbing trees in Cherry Lawn Park, mud masks by the stream, outdoor art and music presentations, and of course visits with our resident animals!”
