Ecology
Nature rules! The Keowa Ecology Center is one of the most interesting and exciting places in camp. It is the only place where a scout can go to see snakes eat frogs, real snapping turtles from Crystal Lake, fish, and more.
The Ecology Center includes a nature trail, an artificial pond ecosystem, and the Ecology Lodge as well as outdoor program areas. Every week of summer camp, the Ecology Center also hosts the camp-wide critter contest, where troops compete to collect the most points for critters in camp to win the contest.
Friendly Ecology staffmen also guide troops on nature hikes, available upon request. The Ecology Lodge is also packed with aquariums and terrariums, field guides, nature books and magazines, bone and mineral displays, astronomical equipment, and more! Want to learn more ecology or conservation? Come to Keowa this summer for a week or two and find out all you want to know about any of these exciting fields.
