Little Creek Summer Camp is offered for three weeks at Little Creek Nature Area, a 97-acre outdoor oasis and learning lab, owned and operated by the Ferguson-Florissant School District.
Campers learn and develop outdoor skills such as archery, birding with binoculars, campfire cooking, fishing, canoeing, macro invertebrate, animal studies, and nature hikes. Mapping, nature journaling, and plant identification studies build literacy skills.
