Welcome to Snowy Owl Camp, a 4-day camp to get kids outdoors over winter break! We'll bundle up and head outside to track animals through the snow, learn how Iowa's wildlife survives the cold, construct shelters and campfires to keep us warm, and see birds up close at the Iowa Raptor Project. Campers will spend time outdoors at Macbride Nature Recreation Area, Hickory Hill Park, and Lake Macbride State Park. We will also head indoors to the Lindquist Center in Iowa City to warm up and create nature-based art pieces. Warm up your natural curiosity and join us this winter at Snowy Owl Camp!
