Welcome Message
Natalie
Thank you for considering Cub Creek Science Camp for your child. We LOVE welcoming new campers each year and hope that everyone who joins us at camp is able to learn new skills, and find friends to share their interests with - whether that's animals, nature, crafts, or science, the options at Cub Creek are endless. Camp is a unique experience, where kids get to spend time in nature away from technology, build independence, and create lifelong friendships. I can't wait to see you this summer!
