The Friends of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve are pleased to offer full summer camp scholarships for families in need of financial assistance. Any parent or guardian can nominate a child for a Friends of Boyd Hill Nature Preserve Camp Scholarship. Scholarships cover the full cost of camp.

Also, Friends of Boyd Hill members (not applying for a scholarship) can get a $20 discount on each camp led by a ranger instructor. Fee-based instructor camps not included in discount.

Do you know a child who would benefit from spending time discovering nature and wildlife, exercising creativity, and learning to care for our environment?
