Rock Eagle 4-H Center: Environmental Education
Camp EcoAdventure Community Program
Camp EcoAdventure is an environmental education day camp run by Rock Eagle EE staff. The goal of the program is to offer an affordable, educational, and fun day camp to children who are interested in our local natural resources.

This spring's 2010 Camp EcoAdventure was an amazing success! Campers' adventures included canoeing; visiting with Rock Eagle’s resident animals; hiking along Rock Eagle trails; discovering life skills of Native Americans and pioneer times; and sampling in Rock Eagle Lake and streams. The week ended with campers creating artwork for the international contest River of Words. Camp EcoAdventure not only exposes children to their local environment, but also provides a means to introduce 4-H to a younger audience.
Camp EcoAdventure objectives are to:
- create awareness and appreciation of our surrounding natural environment,
- promote natural resource conservation in our daily lives,
- introduce & promote the visual arts as a means of expression,
- provide a safe and fun learning environment for all campers,
- and have a positive outdoor experience for all!

Thanks to our Volunteers!
Camp EcoAdventure would not have been such a success this year without three 4-H volunteers. We would like to give a huge thank you to Taylor Wilson, Tammy Sibley, and Ciara Evans.
