JNFC: Eco Village
July 14 @ 8:30 am - July 18 @ 1:30 pm
SJMA’s lottery for all Junior Naturalist Field Camps is open between Feb. 1 – Feb. 14, 2025. We offer six week-long camps for rising 1st – 6th graders each summer where kids spend their time outdoors, playing games, making friends, building eco-towns, becoming nature detectives, exploring our water world, and so much more!
July 14-18, 2025: Eco Village
Join us for a week as we explore the intersection of creativity, community, and nature! First, we will explore some of the indigenous cultures that wove themselves intricately into the web of life that exists in the SW. Then, using the story of Roxaboxen as a foundation, we will tap into our imagination and natural materials to build “homes, businesses, and infrastructure”. Taking cues from symbiotic relationships of different plant and animal species, we’ll cooperatively develop “agreements” to help guide our behavior and choices. The week will conclude with an “open for business” time for the campers to showcase their work for others.
