Summer Opportunity for Youth in Duluth

Urban Wilderness Camp

Duluth’s Urban Wilderness Camp is open for registration.  We take small groups of kids (10-12 years old) into Duluth’s public forests and explore local treasures. This summer, we have camps at Fairmont Park (by the zoo), Lower Chester Park, and Lester Park. 

Each camp runs Monday through Thursday, 9-3:30.  We do things like swim in local creeks, search for crayfish, find agates, safely eat wild plants and berries, explore forests and creeks, play disc golf and capture the flag, make up games, paddle canoes, fish, cook over fires, tie knots, set up tarps, ride the city bus, hike on the Superior Hiking Trail, bike on the Munger Trail, paddle canoes, work and play as a team, and take care of our local urban wilderness.  Each day, we have healthy snacks provided by Duluth’s Whole Foods Co-op!  For more information or to sign up for this or other Hartley Nature Center summer camps, go to hartleynature.org or call 218 724-6735.
