Elachee's Summer Day Camp.
Elachee Nature Science Center has hosted quality environmental education camps in the Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve for over 20 years. Each week of camp uniquely blends traditional camp activities and inquiry based learning opportunities set in the beautiful Chicopee Woods Nature Preserve. The pace is slow and children-friendly. Our campers study nature while walking trails, wading in creeks, creating crafts, and singing songs. Their adventures and experiences at Camp Elachee increase their knowledge and appreciation of the subtleties of nature while they strengthen life-long connections to the natural world.
