Nature Camp: The Y’s Nature Camp provides quality science education in an outdoor, hands-on setting. Nature Camp emphasizes experiential learning. Campers spend most of their time outside, having a great time observing nature up close using tools like binoculars, magnifying lenses and microscopes. Science concepts are introduced in a fun environment, with crafts, games and hands-on activities. Campers will travel each day to various places in and around Atlanta exploring everything the city has to offer. Areas to explore: Chattahoochee Nature Center, Chattahoochee Riverkeeper, Arabia Mountain and South Fork Conservancy.

Makerspace Camp: Campers are exposed to hands-on problem solving through a great range of tools, machines, technology, possibilities, and instructor encouragement. They gain familiarity with maker concepts such as programming, robotics, engineering, multimedia, and design. Campers who already have knowledge in these areas can advance to the next level by developing unique solutions to open-ended challenges. Each camper will work through the processes of design and production under the guidance of experienced instructors. By gaining exposure to cornerstone principles in 21st century craftsmanship, campers can fluidly move from creating a digital prototype to designing a project using 3D printers, laser cutters, and an array of tools and materials. By working together, campers can answer important questions, solve problems, or invent something entirely new.
