Camp Selah
June 9-14, 2012
Camp Selah has been an educational and exciting 5 day nature camp for 8 years for kids between the ages of 9-13 years. Wonderful guest speakers join the Bamberger staff to offer science-based outdoor activities and lessons. Campers swim and canoe in our spring-fed lake, hike the trails, catch and identify critters, view nightly bat emergences, walk in the footprints of dinosaurs, and sing songs by campfires under clear night skies. The camp is designed for those really interested in nature & kids leave the camp smarter about their native environments and with a stronger land ethic. Space is limited to 20 (approx. 10 boys and 10 girls). Application process is easy – write an essay in your own words about what nature means to you and provide a letter of recommendation from a teacher (preferably science). The deadline to apply is May 30, and our panel of past campers and staff will let you know by May 5, 2012. Price for the camp is $525 and some scholarships (up to 50%) are available. Please note: although activities are not strenous, campers will be spending most of their time out of doors & there is always a small risk involved with exposure to insects, plants, etc. Campers are expected to be proficient swimmers & will be asked to take a short swimming test upon their arrival. Medical release and liability forms will be provided for parents to fill out upon acceptance to the camp.
