Like most of us, we were very excited to return to a “normal” summer this year. While we craved the routines and activities of the past, we also recognized the need for caution and to ensure the health and safety of our staff and program participants. So, we were back to “normal”, with a few small changes.

David Freeman, along with his wife Amy, did for over a year as they lived in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area for over a year!

2018 was designated the Year of the Bird by the National Audubon Society, so Birds of a Feather seemed like a natural theme for this year’s Eco Camp. With August now upon us, we have just one camp left. Our first three camps were a huge success and so much fun was had by all! There are favorite activities that we do every year with each group.

Entire schools, and communities across the nation participate in Screen Free Week, endeavoring to not use any screens during non school and work hours. No smart phones, no video games, no TV, no computers, no screens of any kind

Looking back at a summer of eco camp.

Three of our four 2017 Freshwater Friends Eco Camps are in the books. Our campers have ventured on field trips, eaten straight from the garden, and learned a bit about our environment.
