Adventure Camp

Although there is plenty to do this time of year indoors and out, we do find ourselves planning for warmer weather. Here in the Swan and elsewhere, for our summer residents, families are planning their summer schedules. For those who may be wondering, yes there will be Adventure Camp again this year. The dates are July 9-July 13. A large part of the program is hiking, but we also conduct surveys for water quality, amphibians and reptiles and go fishing. Sometime we even find ways to get a little wet. We may even do a little bird watching and rock climbing. But whatever the weather we are out everyday for five days. Details will be out in June. For more information, call Diann at 754-3137.
