The Great Outdoors!

At the Aldo Leopold Nature Center, our summer camps are in full swing but there's still room in quite a few of our upcoming camps like The Great Outdoors Camp for Ages 11-14!
Here's more information:

 
The Great Outdoors  
August 20-24
9am-4pm

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work outdoors? We will learn about the fun you can have on the job in the great outdoors! Learn how to make your own forecast (and film yourself giving it!), discover and study animals of all shapes and sizes and even try to record your adventures using photography and video! The sky is the limit! This camp stays at ALNC's Monona Campus (330 Femrite Drive, Monona WI 53716) all 5 days.

Space is still available but limited! Click here or call 608-221-0404 x1 to register today!

  • The robins and cottontails are starting their second families of the summer.
  • Baby eagles are learning how to fly for the first time.
  • Saturn is very bright in the night sky.
  • The sun is as far from the Earth as it gets…go figure!
  • Tadpoles are becoming frogs.
