The Nature Bus

"Say YES to NEW adventures" with The Nature Bus, summer camp experiences for nature-loving kids, teens, and toddlers!

Ages 1-7 TINKERGARTEN FOREST CAMP with adult: June 3-6 at First Landing State Park (10-12:30 M-Th)

Ages 8-12 NATURE QUEST* SUMMER CAMP: July 15-19 AND Aug 5-9 (9am - 3pm)

Ages 13-15 TEEN NATURE QUEST* CAMP: June 24-28 (9am - 3pm) NEW DATES!

The Nature Bus has 16 seats, allowing 16 campers per camp session. *Please note: To ensure the best possible experience for all campers, we request a teacher recommendation for each student enrolling in Nature Quest camps.

Hop on board The Nature Bus and explore outdoor nature activities and adventures. Campers will depart daily from REI in Town Center, Virginia Beach, and activities will include visits to different outdoor parks and nature preserves each day, allowing for the exploration of a variety of ecosystems, and hands-on, up-close identification of plants and animals (including native plants and pollinators).

Campers will learn about the use of naturalist tools & methods, birding, swimming, nature journaling, watercolor painting, nature meditations, eco arts, naturalist challenges, environmental stewardship, and so much more!

The overall "vibe" of Nature Bus camps is a peaceful feeling. Camp days are filled with zen-like, relaxed activities to encourage campers to use their senses to experience nature in a manner in which naturalists approach the natural world. Our goal is to awe children/teens, inspire a sense of wonder, and develop their naturalist skills.

Poquoson Learning Garden

The Virginia Cooperative Extension York County/Poquoson Master Gardeners established the Poquoson Learning Garden in 2013. It is a "sunny" garden that compliments the York Learning Garden and Arboretum, a predominately "shade" garden. It is composed of individual raised bed gardens for vegetables, herbs, cut flowers and perennials. The adaptive Gardening sections includes a variety of ideas for wheelchair or limited mobility gardeners or those with space limitations or constraints. The garden includes a large outdoor classroom and is a great place for learning about sustainable gardening practices that can be introduced into home landscapes and garden.
