Nature Discovery Camps

By York County Parks May 11, 2021

Nature discovery camps will utilize the many natural resources the York County Parks has to offer to create a greater appreciation for the outdoors. Through hiking, water exploration, creative projects, and more our campers will discover the many wonders of nature. We believe outdoor exploration and play makes children smarter, healthier, and better problem solvers.
