Urban Xplorer Summer Camp at Anita B. Gorman Conservation Discovery Center

6/10/2024 to 6/14/2024

Becoming an urban xplorer is as simple as taking a step outdoors. In this summer camp for ages 9-12, participants will xplor the wonders of nature by learning outdoor skills and utilizing nature within art. They will learn to shoot a bow, get to know our animal ambassadors, and discover nature in the neighborhood. Make plans now to become an urban xplorer this summer.

Programming will be from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each day, with before care beginning at 7:30 and after care going until 5:30 p.m. Both the camp and the extended care are free of charge.

Applications will be available starting April 1 and can be picked up at the Discovery Center or accessed online at mdc.mo.gov/discoverycenter. Applications will be accepted through April 30, and accepted applicants will be notified by May 6. Participation in the camp is limited to 60 individuals, and application is required.
