Summer Camp 2008School’s out! It’s time for kids to get outside, get dirty and get in touch with nature. Summer is a time for exploration and discovery, when learning and playing go hand-in-hand. Briar Bush Nature Center’s summer camps give your camper the opportunity to truly experience the wonders of the natural world through games, hikes, crafts, live animals and outings to fun local destinations. Each camp is one week long with half-day sessions for our younger participants. Every camper will receive an official BBNC Summer Camp 2008 t-shirt the first day of each camp.
