Join us at Tower Grove Park for Camp Hellbender-no newts allowed! This summer camp is designed to let adults feel like a kid again and have some fun in the outdoors while exploring some of the best conservation areas and green spaces the region has to offer. At Tower Grove Park, in the morning we’ll learn about watersheds and the water cycle through a hands-on activity at the stream table. We’ll also go on a short walking tour along the recently daylighted Nee Kee Nee (East Stream) and learn about the ancestral Osage people who inhabited the land prior to European settlement. In the afternoon, we’ll head inside for a little nostalgia and make beaded wetland animal keychains!
Please bring a water bottle and lunch. Refrigeration is available if needed. Sunscreen, a hat, and sunglasses are recommended.
Please register each participant individually. We’ll meet at the Stupp Center in Tower Grove Park.
This program is part of our ongoing Camp Hellbender Series! We encourage you to participate in as many camp days as you’d like. Registration is required for each individual camp. Campers will receive a special sticker to commemorate each day they participate in throughout the summer, and all Campers will be invited back for our Stargazing Sendoff at the end of the Summer!
