Opportunities From: Wilderness Awareness School

Volunteer: Week 8 - Nature Detective - Woodland Park

Summer Camp Volunteers act as assistant instructors for our summer camps and receive training in our unique approach to mentoring youth in nature, which focuses on curiosity, play and asking questions as much or more than a delivery of facts. You can learn more about this approach by exploring Coyote’s Guide to Connecting with Nature, available from our web store.

Nature Detective Day Camp invites young adventurers to follow the trail of nature’s clues while solving mysteries, exploring habitats, and developing keen observation skills in the wild.

This camp invites children to step into the role of a nature detective. They’ll follow clues, notice patterns, solve mini-mysteries, and discover the living world through hands-on exploration and curiosity-driven play.

Nature Detectives spend their days searching for animal tracks, identifying feathers and plants, exploring habitats, and playing games that build awareness and teamwork. Every day is an adventure and every discovery tells a story.


Your child will enjoy:Hands-on exploration in forests, fields, and streams
Tracking wildlife through prints, signs, and clues
Solving nature mysteries with teamwork and curiosity
Investigating insects, plants, birds, and other wild neighbors
Learning to move quietly and observe like real nature detectives
Games, stories, and activities that make learning exciting
Building confidence, friendships, and a meaningful connection to nature
