Description

Camp Bum is proud to give back towards those who are helping get people outdoors which is why we are proud to collaborate with The Little Shepherds Nature Lab. We'll be getting our hands dirty as we help the Nature Lab build a Kinder Garden as well as a robust trail system. This trail system will lead the littles to a summit where they can learn about the local peaks and geography. We'll also help establish a climbing circuit amongst the large boulders on property. In addition to the amenities provided by the property hosts, Camp Bum will provide a climbing movie on Saturday night. This is a FREE limited space event, so sign up soon. Note: There is room for 10 Tent Spaces only. How many people you'd like to squeeze in a tent is up to you - but we can only have 10 Tents for this event. Details from The Little Sherpherds: Thank you for your interest in helping to build the Kinder Garden at Little Shepherds Nature Lab!
