Native Prairie Summer Camp

In this section

Welcome to the prairie!

We’re partnering with the Native Prairies Association of Texas (NPAT) to offer two outdoor camp experiences at no cost to participants!

Native Prairie Summer Camp is a week-long program geared toward students (ages 13-17) interested in learning about and exploring native habitats, urban restoration projects, and the mosaics of our ecosystems. Many of our activities are outdoors; be prepared for warm weather.
