Newport Beach, Calif., May 15, 2016 – On June 29, 2015, the Environmental Nature Center (ENC) will begin its 39th year of Summer Nature Camp for children entering Kindergarten through 6th grade. Camp will be held Monday through Thursday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with ½ day camps available from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Since 1977, the ENC’s Nature Camp has provided quality science education in an outdoor, hands-on setting. This year’s Summer Nature Camp is divided into eight week-long sessions where campers will spend most of their time outside observing nature up close using tools like binoculars, magnifying lenses and microscopes. Weekly themes include Nature Detectives, Weird Science, Amazing Animals, Journey Through Time, Outdoor Explorers, Nature Play, Outdoor Creativity and Tail Tales, in which camp teachers align their daily activities with children's literature.
