If your child(ren) suffer from "Nature Deficit Disorder" then the time is now to get them away from the electronics and out into the natural world. The BTPD Nature Camp is an outdoor day camp that focuses on activities and experiences set in the great outdoors. Camp is based out of the Willowhaven Interpretive Center located on a 120+ acre park featuring wet lands, ponds, and prairies. Camp features weekly themes that include natural history, astronomy, Native Americans, wildlife, tracking and outdoor survival skills.

Notes from the Camp Director:
The BTPD Nature Camps are designed around the experiences I enjoyed as a kid. Experiences like exploring off the trail and catching frogs and tadpoles and spending an entire day outside. It is getting in touch with the natural world and making discoveries. Kids do not always have the opportunities I did being allowed to wander in the creeks and woods at their leisure. These camps are designed to get kids outside four walls; to get one on one with Mother Nature and test their skills and imagination.
