Join us at Rockwoods Reservation for 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 Rockwoods, we will begin the day by exploring our pond and stream while we hunt for aquatic invertebrates. After a lunch break, we will learn the basics of navigating with a compass and map and test our knowledge with some fun games. Please bring a water bottle and a lunch. Sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, bug spray, and long pants are recommended for sun and tick protection. Getting in the stream is optional, but we recommend that everyone bring water shoes, rainboots, or a change of shoes and socks! Please register each participant individually. We will meet in front of the Visitor’s Center. 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 our Stargazing Sendoff at the end of the Summer!
