In Nature, campers are guided on daily nature walks in Fairmount Park. As they learn to feel at ease in the woods during these walks, campers also learn about geology, biology, and botany. Campers come to appreciate the importance of trees and wooded areas in the city. As they examine attitudes about trees and the ecological value of trees, the campers also work to compile the findings of their research in a 'tree book'. As our urban campers experience regular interactions with nature program, they develop a remarkable level of comfort in and knowledge of the woods.
