Youth ages 5 – 12 are invited to join University of Illinois Extension in a fun, educational Nature Detective Camp. The camp will be held at the U of I Extension office, 850 Thompson St., Princeton, on Wednesday, August 7th from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m.

This free half-day camp will offer hands-on activities for youth to learn about nature, birds, monarchs, and more. Youth will explore both indoors and outdoors, weather permitting.

"Nature Detective Camp will be a great opportunity for area youth to experience a variety of activities related to nature," Danielle Saletzki, University of Illinois Extension 4-H & Youth Program Coordinator shared. "Participants will leave with not only new knowledge of the world around them, but also handmade items to enjoy at home."

Deadline to register is August 1st.
