TNI’s Discovery Day Camp is a nature-based camp located in Godfrey, IL. This unique camp began in 1982 and has invited campers back each year since! Your camper will enjoy a week full of exploration, discovering birds, wildlife, insects, water features, and nature knowledge at The Nature Institute. We will explore the woods, prairies, and ponds at Olin Nature Preserve and will play in the streams and waterfalls at Mississippi Sanctuary. Campers will have opportunities to gain STEM skills while playing on our natural playground which includes a Mud Kitchen, Geology Garden, Art Center, Burrow, Eagle’s Nest, Climbing Wall and much more. Campers will learn through discovery and guided play and explore our natural resources. Expect to hear about the new adventures your camper experienced while outdoors.
