Register for Wildlands Conservancy summer camp

Wildlands Conservancy is offering 11 weeks of enriching, nature-based fun at the Dorothy Rider Pool Wildlife Sanctuary, 3701 Orchid Place, Emmaus, as well as in Community Park, near Bethlehem; Hopewell Park, Center Valley; Lone Lane Park, Allentown; and Ontelaunee Park, New Tripoli. Camps, beginning June 12, are offered at several levels, including: You & Me for 3-5 year-olds and their grown-ups, PreK, and for students who have completed K-second grades, third-fifth grades, and sixth grade plus.

Choose from a number of different camp themes, including developing outdoor wildlife tracking and survival skills, enjoying water activities while learning about our watershed, lessons in ornithology with a practicing ornithologist, becoming a planet protector with practicing conservationists, and generally discovering the thrill of science, technology and engineering surrounded by the beauty of the natural world.

Enter a world of nature-inspired fantasy and adventure during Realm of the Forest and Wildlands Server week, or step into a story and find out how it is related to natural wonders right under our noses during Stories for the Wild Child. Explore Ontelaunee Park, which offers two weeks of a variety of wildlife water adventures; enjoy learning about wildlife, meeting the conservancy’s animal ambassadors and participating in a number of experiments and games at Lone Lane Park, Community Park, or Hopewell Park. Many weeks will feature special guests who are experts in their fields from all over the Lehigh Valley and will help create meaningful hands-on experiences for campers.
