Welcome to the Crow's Nest Camp Registration System

Registration for Winter 2026 Nature Clubs is now open for returning families. Registration for new families will open on January 6th. Space not guaranteed.

Kids can be kids at Crow’s Nest Preserve’s seasonal nature clubs, with activities designed to engage curiosity and develop a love of the outdoors. Each week children will explore a different section of the preserve. They’ll climb on logs and trees, run amuck in the woods, get wet and muddy in the creek, and come home tired and inspired by nature.

Space is limited, so register today!

Preregistration is required to reserve your child’s spot, by January 12th.

Cost $50 per child, except the Teen Service Corps which is free. Scholarships are available; please contact Molly Smyrl, Educator, at msmyrl@natlands.org to arrange.
