The thrill of camping at Potawotami is the deep down kind that campers remember for a life time. They live in a different kind of world with exciting and unexpected adventurers around every corner. Here's a wonderful opportunity for them to live happily and constructively. Fishing, swimming, and camping out, they are learning to live with nature and with their fellow campers. They learn to share, to live and to play with other campers.
Camping is a unique experience.
Since the 1970s area schools have been using Camp Potawotami's resources to compliment their classroom lesson plans. Outdoor Education is watching a squirrel gather nuts, catching frogs in an active swamp, and gazing into the night sky just waiting for a falling star. It is life outside of the city limits. It is holding life in your own two hands. Hands on experiences and structured lessons are all part of the unique and valuable way of learning in an outdoor setting.
