Bounce Summer Camps

This summer beat the heat and have your child burn some energy, while gaining confidence through exploring their inner gymnast. Your preschooler will enjoy a summer gymnastics program under the supervision of trained coaches.

Each week we focus on a different theme and will have several rotations throughout the morning where campers can participate in different activities, crafts and more. The kids will work on strength, flexibility, hand-eye coordination and balance. They will explore tumbling, as well as jumping on the trampolines, balancing on the beams, swing from the rings and running obstacle courses.

Camp Wonder

Howell Nature Center 

Camp Wonder at Howell Nature Center offers Day, Overnight, and Excursion Camps to children entering kindergarten through 12th grade. With the goal of providing a fun, adventurous, and enriching summer camp experience, Camp Wonder programs also teach children to be faithful caretakers of one another and the natural world around them!

 

Day Campers engage in exciting activities such as archery, arts & crafts, gaga Ball, zip line, canoeing, kayaking, high ropes challenge course, live animal presentations, pond study, swimming, fishing, capture the flag, and more. Day camp is offered as two-, three-, and five-day options. Specialty Day Camps, which blend classic camp with specialized activities focused on fishing, wildlife, or survival skills (just to name a few!), are offered as five-day options.

 

Overnight campers enjoy the same classic activities, and take part in extra fun in the evenings with campfires and additional games. Overnight camp is the perfect place to gain independence and build relationships in a safe and supportive environment.


Excursion camps provide an exciting opportunity for teens to challenge themselves in a wilderness setting. Excursion campers will arrive at awesome destinations and may spend their time kayaking, biking, backpacking, cooking food over fire, or even learning from real zookeepers!

 

At the Howell Nature Center, we believe kids should be able to unplug, get outside, and grow as individuals this summer. Whether your child wants to make new friends, learn a new skill, expand on their passion for nature and animals, or just have fun outside, Camp Wonder offers a program that is just right for them!
