Join us at Camp Hellbender-no newts allowed! This summer camp is designed to let adults feel like a kid again and have some fun in the outdoors while exploring some of the best conservation areas in the region that MDC has to offer! At Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, we will be meeting at the visitor center before carpooling to the trailhead near Lot "L" for a relaxing walk to the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers. On our way back to the visitor center, we’ll take time to admire the sunflower fields. Then, we’ll cool off indoors in the afternoon with lunch in the classroom and then an owl program and pellet-dissection activity. Please bring your own water bottle and lunch. Refrigeration is available if needed. Sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, and comfy walking shoes are recommended. Please register each participant individually. Meet at the classroom in the main building at Columbia Bottom CA. This program is part of our ongoing Camp Hellbender Series! We encourage you to participate in as many camp days as you’d like. Registration is required for each individual camp. Campers will receive a special sticker to commemorate each day they participate in throughout the summer, and all campers will be invited back for a closing campfire at the end of the summer! Please only register for one day per site. Camp Hellbender Summer Camp Schedule: Saturday, June 14th - Rockwoods Reservation Saturday, June 21st - August A.
