The camp offers a unique opportunity for children to directly explore and learn within the 1,400-acre Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, fostering a deep appreciation for local endangered species and habitats.
Bolsa Chica Conservancy's Summer Curiosity Camp offers an engaging, science-based day camp experience for children in grades 1-4. Campers explore the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve, learning about wetland science, local wildlife, and coastal environments through hands-on activities. The curriculum aligns with state standards and focuses on fostering curiosity about nature, environmental stewardship, and community action. Activities include daily nature walks, outdoor games, art projects, science exploration, and learning about animal facts. The program aims to broaden children's worldview about the outdoors and what they can do to protect endangered plants and animals within the wetlands. Campers develop skills in public speaking and group work through interactive learning experiences both indoors at the Interpretive Center and outdoors on the trails.
A typical day involves a balance of indoor classroom instruction and outdoor field learning, with activities such as nature walks, outdoor games, art projects, and science exploration.
This camp is best for young explorers aged 6-10 who are curious about nature, enjoy hands-on science, and want to learn about wetland ecosystems and local wildlife.
