There is a choice of three week-long summer day-camps during June. Francis Beidler Forest contains the largest remaining stand of virgin, cypress-tupelo swamp in the world. This is the perfect setting for stimulating a child’s love for nature!

Birds will be the 2013
theme to guide campers through each week. Campers will become amateur
naturalists themselves by engaging in science, hands-on activities and
arts. You can view images from last year here.
A tentative schedule can be viewed here and an enrollment form can be downloaded here.
The programs for the summer camp are geared for grades 1 through 6. The camp day will last from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm at a cost of $85. Please call Beidler Forest at 843-462-2150 to secure a place for your child in the week of your choice.
The dates for the 2013 summer camp will be:
Session I: June 10-14
Session II: June 17-21

Advanced Swamp Camp
For the third year, the Audubon Center at
Francis Beidler Forest is offering a day-camp for teenagers (ages
13-16) from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm June 24-28. The cost is $100 per camper. Campers will spend the days outside
exploring the various habitats throughout the sanctuary. Those
unwilling to stomp in the swamp getting wet and dirty should not apply.
Activities will include GPS navigation, canoeing, wildlife
identification, and whatever we encounter! Explore this GIS map to see where campers went and what they saw in 2012!
Limit: 15 campers. Call Beidler Forest at 843-462-2150
