Summmer Camps for Kids
LNC Summer Camps are a great way for kids to learn about nature while having fun! Camps at Louisville Nature Center offer fun games, guided hikes in the nature preserve, and exciting nature study for budding naturalists--ages 4-12! Our camps provide lots of hands-on learning about the local wildlife and habitats found in Beargrass Creek State Nature Preserve, a 41-acre forest and outdoor classroom.

A limited number of scholarships are available for the LNC summer camps. Attendees pay 50% of the camp cost; the remaining 50% will be covered by the scholarship funds. Any student currently receiving reduced lunch is eligible to apply. Please contact the Nature Center for details.
