This is a 4 day off site camp with two overnights camping and canoeing the Iowa River in Louisa County. We will spend one day in orientation reviewing equipment, safety, and team building in preparation for a two-night, three-day canoe camping experience. Campers will explore, fish, forage, and have fun. Campers will learn to work together to accomplish goals and challenges, building confidence and trust, both in themselves and in others. Starr's Cave Nature Center camps address the growing need to introduce and engage today's youth in the natural world. Camps are designed to be fun and active and to provide high quality environmental learning experiences through games, crafts, stories, and in-depth nature exploration. Kids love coming to our camps and look forward to them each summer. Parents love our camps because they know their kids are having fun and learning at the same time. For more information regarding camps call Starr's Cave Nature Center at (319) 753-5808. A full description and schedule of camps can be found on the Des Moines County Conservation website.
