Salamonie Children’s Day Camps, March 23–25 & April 7-9

Indiana DNR Release:

Children ages 7 to 11 are invited to Salamonie Reservoir’s “Treemendous Trees” day camps for a fun and exciting three days, March 23 – 25, or April 7 - 9. Each day provides a variety of activities from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

Both camps programs are identical to serve more children.

Participants will study trees from crown to roots. They’ll learn about controlled burns, identify trees, meet a DNR forester and learn about his or her work, come face to face with animals that live in trees, and more. Activities are both indoors and outdoors, so dress for the weather.

All activities are guided by DNR interpretive naturalists trained to provide a safe and fun environment. A small snack will be provided, but children need to bring a sack lunch with a drink each day.

Space is limited. Register by calling (260) 468-2127. The camp costs $45 per child, with $10 due at registration. Parents must fill out health/participation forms before their child may begin activities on the first day.

Gate fees are waived for participants.
