Green River Detectives: SEASON CLOSED
Though our river ecology camp has wrapped for the season, we’re already dreaming of next summer’s days spent knee-deep in discovery at Kanaskat-Palmer. Check back this winter for 2027 dates, we’d love for your young explorer to fall for this watershed with us.

Not Sure Which Program Fits?
If you have questions, reach out, we’d love to help you find the right fit. Most of our programs serve ages 6–12 but we welcome curious kids who thrive with patient instruction, small groups, and plenty of time outside. Reach out if you have a child outside of our age range to see if we can accommodate them.
