Nature Day Camp July 9-13 Ages: 6-13 *Day CampBy popular demand, it wouldn’t be a NorthWoods summer if we didn’t devote a week to exploring nature up close, including canoe trips on the Clyde wetlands, and testing team work and personal confidence on the ropes course. We’ll also hike up a local peak, investigate pond life, and enjoy games and outdoor challenges.
