Summer Camp
Riverbend’s summer camp was established in 1982 as Camp Green Heron. This two week program for children ages 4-11 years hosted seven campers. Today we welcome nearly 600 campers each summer for programs at Riverbend and across the region. Riverbend’s creative camp lesson plans incorporate curiosity, exploration, and inquiry. Research shows that when children spend time in nature, they are not only more receptive to learning about the task at hand but also learning in general. Riverbend educators use this opportunity to encourage campers to practice 21st century skills like resiliency, self-reflection, and grit. Most importantly, Riverbend campers fall in love with nature and carry those memories through life!
