Bear Creek Camp at Wilkes-Barre Academy

A Sense of Discovery Using their five senses, students will learn about an exciting ecosystem! Hiking through the forest, students will stop along the way to explore, each time using a different one of their senses. Activities are sensory-based and allow students to discover the world around them in a new and different way.

Water, Water Everywhere Students will learn all about the water cycle, macroinvertebrates, watersheds and so much more as they hike through the forest. They will utilize collection cups and dipping nets as they explore our lake and streams to learn who lives where and why.

Night Hike Students will explore the forest while participating in some fun evening activities. From night vision and nocturnal animals, and silent walks, students will have fun learning about the forest at night.
