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. Camp Information.

Scout, Club, Daycare, Organizational Programs
Special groups such as Boy or Girl Scout groups, home school associations, day care centers, garden clubs and other adult organizations may schedule one of our existing programs or modify one to suit specific needs. Custom education programs can be designed to fulfill scout badge requirements or address a certain topic of interest to your organization. All programs are designed for your group's individual needs and skill level. Minimum fees for a program do apply - if your group is not large enough to book a private program with us, scouts and other groups can take advantage of our monthly
public programs like First Saturday Hikes and Stars Over Elachee telescope programs and also
public programs which occur throughout the year including Earth Day, Snake Day, and NightFall.
