Camps at Lacawac

Lacawac Sanctuary’s camps invite children to explore the natural world, make new friends, and discover the wonders of science and the outdoors. Through hands-on activities and time spent exploring our trails, forests, wetlands, and Lake Lacawac, campers build a lifelong connection to nature.

We offer a variety of camp experiences throughout the year to fit every young explorer’s interests and schedule.​
