Did you know Blandy is a ield research station where scientists study nature? EcoExplorers work in pairs to ask a question about the natural world, then work with our leaders and scientists to answer their question. Participants present results to parents, Blandy staff, and other campers on the last day. Come explore our meadows, ponds, and woodlands and experience the excitement of discovery!

Are you ready to help protect Mother Earth? We’ll discover how humans affect the environment, learn how to minimize our impact, and practice earth-friendly tips and techniques. Using the six R’s—rethink, refuse, repair, reduce, reuse, and recycle—we’ll become savvy stewards of the earth while having fun in nature.
