The Nature Day Camp serves as a fun introduction to the outdoors for young children.
Campers learn basic ecology and are given a broad introduction to environmental education.
Activities include canoeing, nature and creek hikes, nature-related crafts, swimming, a trip to the Reston Zoo, a cookout, and a ride on the Hemlock zip wire. This camp focuses on outdoor and environmental activities with a high fun factor, and serves as the introductory step to Hemlock Overlook for young children and their families. This camp operates almost totally out of Bull Run Marina with the exception of two or three activities that are off Hemlock Property. The Nature Day Camp has 24 campers for each session. After last summer's overwhelmingly successful debut, the Adventure Day Camp returns as one of Hemlock's most popular summer camps.
