Bonebrake Discovery Camp is going to be another adventure for the Bonebrake Center! Last year’s day camp was so much fun that we plan to repeat the process! Plans are to give children quality experiences in nature, culture, history, and art. They will have opportunities to participate in scavenger hunts, catch and identify very small pond animals, learn about Missouri snakes, and who know what else! Camp is for children ages 8-12, and Friday's evening activity will be for parents, guardians, and friends to come participate in some activities and the awards ceremony. The camp’s goal is to help each child develop an attitude of respect and wonder for nature, culture and art, along with a love of learning. The cost is $50 per child. There is a VERY limited number of spots (20), and we do have an even more limited number of scholarships for families who honestly do not have the funds, so please contact us SOON!.
