Camps at Potomac Overlook are multidisciplinary investigations of the close-to-home natural world available to children and teens entering grades 2 through 11. The camp curriculum weaves unique activities and investigations with familiar year-after-year traditions.The result is often an experience that children seek out every summer. Junior Naturalist, Explorers and Ranger camps are not sports, day care, or play camps. Activities are designed to be engaging, challenging and educational. We highly value and encourage inclusion of all campers in all activities. |
