June 16th-20th
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM
Rising 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th Graders
This camp combines a wide range of grades specifically to accommodate families with campers in two different camp grade groupings: Rising 3rd to 5th and Rising 6th to 8th. This grouping allows those families a means to drive to camp one week instead of two. We realize that 3rd graders and 8th graders are developmentally different. Our goal is to group campers the optimal way to increase enjoyment for all!Â
Crows Nest Campers will be introduced to kayaking, building their skills over the week. They will learn about the local history of the land through hiking and scavenger hunts. Crows Campers are on the creek everyday recreating while becoming stewards to the picturesque Accokeek Creek. Afternoons are spent doing Environmental STEM-related activities, nature hikes, and watershed science activities. On Fridays we will join the FOR Headquarters campers at the Fredericksburg Quarry all morning and spend the afternoon making S’mores and participating in camp games. If your camper likes to get wet and have fun while learning about our natural world, have them join us for the week. To ensure safety on and off the river, all of our camps have 12 or less campers each week.
This is a full day camp running from 9:00am – 3:00pm, Monday through Friday.
Pick up and drop off are at Crow’s Nest Research Center at 400 Marlborough Point Road, Stafford, VA 22554
