Come explore our 30-acre greenspace and its four unique ecosystems with us. Skip rocks, catch tadpoles and splash around in Nancy Creek. Whether it's building forts, making nature art, or playing in the mud, your camper is sure to enjoy their time making new discoveries at Blue Heron.
Our programs are focused on positive, hands-on experiences in nature. Our educators are focused on providing content based on your campers' interests, so every visit to our Break Camp is a unique experience.
