Tumbler Ridge Museum - Northern Wilderness Camps

The Northern Wilderness Camps are a new series of non-tiered camps which will focus on the different eco-zones within the Peace Region. This years program includes the "Eagle" Camp (named after a bird of prey) which will focus on alpine biology and ecology and the new "Heron" Camp which will build an appreciation for wetlands biology and ecology.

SESSION
I Heron Camp: July 7-11
II Eagle Camp: Aug. 11-15

The Northern Wilderness Camp is open to children between 8 - 13 years of age. The camp run daily from Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:00pm. Children bring their own lunches. Registration is limited to 13 campers per session.

Our primary goal is for campers to learn something about the natural history of the Peace Region and enjoy themselves while doing it. A great deal is expected from each individual in terms of positive attitude and behavior so that the camp will be a memorable experience for all participants.
