Audubon Discovery Camps
PVAS holds nature-themed day camps each summer for children ages 5-18. Campers explore the natural world, focusing on a different theme each week. Audubon Discovery Camp is held at the Yankauer Nature Preserve in Berkeley County and Cool Spring Preserve in Jefferson County.
School Programs
PVAS offers grade-specific programs for classrooms from pre-K –6th grade. All are tied to state-mandated content standards. Programs are offered at any of our four nature preserves or can be offered at your school, depending on program. Custom programs are available upon request for all grades.
Our full-day homeschool programs are designed to introduce homeschool students to specific nature-based themes with the goal to help students better understand the natural world and their connection to it. Contact our staff to schedule a program.
Ages: 5-14
PVAS provide programs to help groups and individuals complete requirements for badges and awards, including Eagle Scout projects.
PVAS has provided local libraries with “Nature Explorer Backpacks” through a grant from the Nora Roberts Foundation. Each pack has a different theme with tools to explore nature including field guides, stories, bug boxes, binoculars, and activity ideas.
