2025 PD DAY CAMPS

September 19, 2025: Changing seasons, changing forests

As summer shifts into fall, the forest at Ball’s Falls comes alive with change—and so will our campers! During this one-day adventure, campers will hit the trails to explore how plants and animals prepare for autumn, take part in hands-on science experiments inspired by the season, and create nature crafts to bring a piece of the outdoors home. With outdoor games, team challenges, and plenty of fresh air, campers will spend their day connecting with nature and each other while discovering the magic of September in the forest.

November 28, 2025: Nature’s Transformations

As autumn transitions into winter, Ball’s Falls becomes a living classroom full of change and discovery! Campers will explore how plants and animals prepare for the colder months through guided nature hikes, hands-on science experiments, and outdoor games. Together, we’ll uncover the secrets of migration, hibernation, and survival, while creating seasonal crafts to take home. With crisp air, crunchy leaves, and plenty of adventure, this camp is the perfect way to spend a November day outdoors!
