Camp Habitat

Camp Habitat is the perfect summer escape for young nature enthusiasts eager to explore the wonders of Alaska’s great outdoors. Located at Creamer’s Field Migratory Waterfowl Refuge in Fairbanks, this camp offers children aged 4 to 11 a chance to dive into the natural history of Interior Alaska through hands-on activities and outdoor adventures. It’s a weeklong journey of discovery that combines fun, education, and a deep connection to the environment. Each day is packed with engaging activities like discovery hikes, ecology-themed games, sensory exploration, and creative crafts. Campers will learn about Alaska’s ecosystems, including its plants, animals, and wetlands, while exploring fields, forests, and seasonal ponds. Guest specialists add to the excitement by sharing their expertise on topics like insects, farming, and forestry. Whether it’s building a birdhouse or investigating life in a pond, every activity is designed to spark curiosity and foster a love for nature. The camp is divided into two programs: half-day sessions for preschoolers and full-day sessions for elementary-aged kids. With skilled instructors and junior counselors maintaining small group sizes, children receive plenty of attention in a safe and supportive environment. The curriculum is developmentally appropriate, ensuring that every camper feels challenged yet comfortable. Camp Habitat isn’t just about learning—it’s about creating lasting memories. From singing songs to crafting nature-inspired art, kids leave with new friends, fresh skills, and a deeper appreciation for the world around them. For families seeking an enriching outdoor experience this summer, Camp Habitat delivers an unforgettable adventure.
