2018 Camp

Bonanza Creek Science Adventure Camp

Welcome to our 2018 Bonanza Creek Science Adventure Camp!

This camp took place in early June . We spent a week at the Bonanza Creek Experimental Forest exploring nature, being creative, hiking, making art, making friends, experimenting, and working with scientists and artists in a real experimental forest. We learned how to track animals, how to use plants as food and medicine, how to drill soil cores, how to use professional science tools, and so much more.

Take a look at what we did every day by clicking through the links for each day (or see tabs at the top of the page). And hear for yourself what kids liked best on our Favorite Things page!

A huge thank you to our guest instructor (Lindsey Parkinson), guest scientists (Justin Olnes, Matt Cameron, Jamie Hollingsworth and Elena Sparrow) and guest artist (Ashley Bergeron). You were all awesome!
