Summer Camps

The Macon County Conservation District has offered quality day- camp experiences to the youth of Macon County, Illinois for over 20 years. Our camps are a perfect place for positive, fun, and well-supervised opportunities for children to interact with nature.

Through hands-on, outdoor experiences, including hikes, arts and crafts, games, activities and play, children will have a fun and exciting summer while they gain awareness and knowledge of the “natural” world and an appreciation of local history.

Summer Camp registration for 2008 has already begun!
