Highlands Nature Center’s 2022 Summer Camps
Issue: Whats News
One of the Nature Center’s most popular offerings is their annual summer camps for children ages 4 to 12 years old.
The Highlands Nature Center has been a treasure on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau for nearly a century. This museum, just minutes away from downtown Highlands, features natural history exhibits, live animals, and educational programming for visitors of all ages. One of the Nature Center’s most popular offerings is their annual summer camps for children ages 4 to 12 years old.
This year, each of the younger camp sessions has been expanded by 1 hour! That means campers will have even more time to connect to nature, foster an appreciation for the environment, and learn about the many things that make the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau so unique. Leading the camp charge this year is the Highlands Biological Foundation (HBF)’s new Education Specialist, Holly Theobald. Last year, Holly served as one of the Nature Center’s summer Naturalists and returned as a permanent member of the team. She is most looking forward to creating a fun, interactive, and informative camp season, and to working with local organizations to create community programming.
Nature Center camps will be offered between June and August. Registration will be open to HBF members at the end of February and to the public at the beginning of March. The Highlands Nature Center is part of the Highlands Biological Station, a multi-campus center of Western Carolina University.
