When my family wasn't camping in the summer or skiing in the winter, I would spend countless hours playing in the creek across the street from my childhood home. Never mind the playground half a block away; it wasn't half as interesting as the crawdads and tadpoles in the creek, the birds and squirrels in the trees, and the trees themselves, which provided endless amusement as climbing structures.
Back at home, when we weren't outside enjoying nature, we were taught that the many resources that the Earth provides - energy, water, food, paper, etc. - are precious and not to be wasted. It was these childhood experiences that instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature and an understanding that we humans have a responsibility to protect it.

About Eco Kids Camp
Report
South Bay Eco Kids is a program of TeachingGreen, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people love and protect our natural world. At Eco Kids Camp, we get children back into nature where they can thrive. No computers, no smart phones, no man-made playground equipment. Just trees and ponds, insects and wildlife, waiting to be discovered and explored.
Testimonials
Report
Of all the camps my daughter did this summer, she said that South Bay Eco Kids was her favorite. She originally was signed up for a half day but wanted to go for a full day so that she wouldn't miss out on the fun. She particularly loved the nature journal and pet plant. There were so many educational and fun projects throughout the week.
