Camp Kingfisher is all about outdoor camping traditions and adventures, combined with environmental education.
“Give your kids time to play," said Tim Reidy, the new director at Camp Kingfisher. "The [winter] break is the perfect time to investigate nature, learn about wildlife and see how plants grow even in the winter! And of course we’ll have lots of good ole’ camp fun like singing silly songs and creating crafts.”
