Trinity County Resource Conservation District will host summer day camp at historic Young Family Ranch in Weaverville July 6-31 for children entering first grade through those preparing to enter sixth grade. All must bring their own sack lunch and their own water bottle each day. The fee is $25 per week.

In addition to the regular week-long sessions, this year there will a new special session July 6-10 for older kids (fourth, fifth and sixth graders) featuring opportunities to explore and study nature close-up during a series of field trips. These short day trips will include discovering how stream health is monitored, examining restoration work along Trinity River to help salmon, learning about revegetation efforts to improve watersheds, and observing ways Weaverville Community Forest is being cared for. These will include opportunities to learn how science is being applied to understand and help nature.

Activities during the regular camp sessions incorporate learning about natural resources, gardening and healthy nutrition and often feature community members with interesting knowledge and skills. Children can gain new insights into the natural and cultural world around them. Call the TCRCD at 623-6004 for applications.
