Drop off for camp is between 8:30-9:00 am, and

Pick up is between 3:30-4:00 pm.

Pricing: $35/day members or $45/day non-members

The fee for pick up after the designated time is $5 for every 10 minutes,

which will be charged to your card on file at the time of pick up.

Camp registration closes 24 hours before the start of camp,

please email Rebecca@CalusaNature.org

if you would like to register after the cut-off time.

The safety of our campers is our first priority here at CNCP, and so we have developed a plan for reducing the risk of COVID-19 exposure during camp.

The camp sessions limit has been expanded to fifteen campers. If the camp session you would like is already full, please email Rebecca@CalusaNature.org to get on the waiting list.
All campers must bring their own hand sanitizer and masks each day of camp. We strongly recommend that campers wear masks any time they are inside a building, or when social distancing measures cannot be maintained.

Our camp is designed to take place almost entirely outside, where campers will have lots of fresh air and space to spread out!

If you have any questions, have a problem during the registration process, or would like more information, please email Rebecca@CalusaNature.org

Please fill out the application below if you wish to register your camper(s) online. Clicking this button will automatically re-direct you to the page where camp sessions can be purchased. Your child will not be registered until both of these are completed!
