| | Another year of Teatown camp has drawn to a close. It’s been a wonderful summer and our campers learned a great deal about the world around them. From setting camera traps to making art from weeds and thorns to exploring new trails and getting an up-close view at native animals, it’s been an adventure and discovery-filled summer.
Summer Camp 2014 registration will begin in January 2014. We look forward to another great year! | Nature Center Gallery Oil paintings by Robin Arzt On exhibit June 2-August 24 | | “My pieces range in style from representational to abstract, all inspired by nature. I find that common plants and familiar flowers are intriguing, especially when considered at close range. These paintings reflect my interest in the dynamic natural world.”
