Monday- Friday • 9:00 am – 3:00 pm

With Yankauer Nature Preserve as our home base, we’ll embark on a different adventure each day! Go caving, practice archery and survival skills and learn to orienteer so you can create your own compass scavenger hunt! Campers will need to be dropped off at the C&O parking lot under the Shepherdstown Bridge on Wednesday where we will be conducting a stream study. On Thursday night, we’ll camp out at the preserve!

Entering grades 6-8

$210 members / $ 230 non- members
