About the Staff

“Looking back, last summer was
probably the best summer of my
life. I don't think I have ever
learned as much and had as much
fun at the same time. Thank you
for the wonderful opportunity.”

The Nature Up Close Camp Education Staff is our greatest resource in providing campers with a supportive environment where they feel safe exploring the natural world and learning new life and outdoor skills. Camp staff are caring, creative and responsible professionals with a strong environmental ethic who want to make meaningful connections with campers and help them build a relationship with the natural world.
