Aquatic Adventure Camp

Aquatic Adventure is designed to balance the fun of summer with science. The County’s pontoon boat serves as a floating classroom while our kayaks become vessels for explorations. During this week, freshwater ecology is brought to life through activities such as birding, water sampling, fishing and daily experiments. The experience is rounded out with paddling the creek and coves, lake shore explorations and orienteering. Campers will take part in a conservation project.

Baldpate Nature Camp is a program of the Mercer County Park Commission. The camp is held at Baldpate Mountain in Titusville, and is open to children entering grades 1 through 6.

Baldpate Nature Camp is designed to enhance children’s natural affinity for the great outdoors. Hands-on nature explorations, science experiments, hikes through the forest, and unstructured nature play create the foundation for each camp week. Camp days are devoted to a specific nature topic and may include arthropods, forest ecology, birds and tracking. Campers will keep a nature journal to record their thoughts, explorations, and discoveries.

All campers will create a Baldpate Nature Guide t-shirt to bring home.
