Summer Camps

Nestled within 550 acres of pristine wilderness, Lacawac Sanctuary is the perfect place for young explorers! With meandering trails, open fields, lakes, and wetlands, campers will embark on hands-on adventures that spark curiosity and creativity. Through scientific experiments, environmental observation, thematic games, and artistic expression, campers will immerse themselves in our living laboratory—discovering their role in the intricate web of nature.
