Ozark Natural Science Center

This is not your ordinary camp; it's a haven for young adventurers and aspiring naturalists, offering a cornucopia of activities from creative writing and arts & crafts to adventurous river rides and immersive backpacking journeys.Picture this: your child, equipped with a backpack and a sense of adventure, embarks on a hiking trip, learning about the diverse flora and fauna that call the Ozark home. They canoe down rivers, becoming more confident with every paddle stroke, engaging with the environment in a way that no textbook could ever teach. Every day brings a fresh experience, whether it's orienteering, practicing primitive skills, or exploring the nearly 8 miles of trails weaving through the grounds.One of the camp's crowning jewels is the Ewing Center. It's not just a building; it's a hub of learning and creativity, enhanced by air-conditioned lodges for those moments when the kids need a break from the heat. And the learning doesn't stop when the sun goes down. Weekend programming extends to adults, keeping the whole family engaged.Under the watchful eye of experienced guides, children with specific dietary needs or physical disabilities are welcomed and accommodated, ensuring no child misses out on the fun. This camp isn't just about activities and adventures; it's about fostering a deep-rooted love for nature, a curiosity for the world, and memories that will last a lifetime. If your family cherishes the spirit of adventure and the thrill of learning, the Ozark Natural Science Center summer camp might just be your next summer destination.
