Why Should I Attend?
Kids in the great outdoors make for magic and memories. Local camps provide a wonderful, adventurous way to get up close and personal with nature.
Daily busy life can make getting "back to nature" hard for any family, yet experiencing the outdoors helps children gain enhanced abilities to learn, lead and experience contentment, as well as a lifelong admiration for and desire to protect Earth. Plenty of today's children don't know the pleasures of hiking through the woods, turning over rocks in search of crawfish or leaping into a watering hole.
Parents must specifically seek out programs or go camping themselves with their kids to experience the joy of communing with nature. Fortunately, Middle Tennessee is loaded with great day camps that offer kids the chance to be outdoors for a little mucking around. So, if you want your child to know the difference between a toad and a frog and a catfish or a crawfish, local day camps are a best bet. We spoke with a random handful of local day camps that focus most activities outside!
