Grades 2-5
Platte River Safari Camp is a nature day camp where children can learn about the Platte River and other natural areas in at Audubon’s Rowe Sanctuary. Campers take part in a variety of hands-on activities that include natural and physical science, language arts, history, and art, while having fun. Campers participate in activities not normally offered during the school year like getting wet and muddy – all for the sake of learning!
Platte River Safari Camp is for any student currently in grades 2 -5 for the current school year. $130 per child.
Flying Higher
July 7-10, 9:00am-4:00pm, Monday-Thursday.
Grades 6-10
Flying Higher is a hands-on, ecology camp geared for middle school students. This camp will take campers into the realm of scientific surveys and identification with a huge dose of fun. Students will learn in depth about the Platte River, Wetland habitats, Prairie ecosystems, and learn about their importance here in Nebraska.
We share the belief that when children spend quality time outside it can have a lasting, positive impact on their personal lives and the future of our great natural heritage. $130 per child.
Registration coming in January 2026!
