Ouabache State Park is offering a Junior Indiana Master Naturalist Day Camp on June 10-14 for children ages 8-12 who are interested in learning more about nature.

The camp runs Monday through Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Friday.

The Junior Indiana Master Naturalist program provides children with hands-on opportunities to learn about Indiana’s plants, water, soil, and wildlife in an outdoor setting from natural resources specialists. It also provides a way to discover environmental stewardship through volunteer service.

The program is sponsored by the Friends of Ouabache State Park group and Ouabache State Park.

The fee is $70 per student and $60 for each additional sibling. Participants must register by June 4.

The standard park entrance fee will be waived for students during class.
