ECO ADVENTURES VACATION CAMP
Eco Adventures is responding to the need for quality vacation camp experiences for
10 to 13 year old boys and girls.
A quality vacation camp experience that helps campers to develop confidence in public speaking during fun activities that include basic outdoor survival skills, pottery craft, jewelery craft, environmental awareness and hiking.
We purposely keep our camp size small (20 - 25campers), to allow for quality care and attention.
Below we present our Camp Directors and Facilitators for the July 2012 camp season
