Summer 2025 is in the books! We’re already working on what we will do for summer 2026. When we have more details, we’ll post them here–most likely in early 2026. Thanks!

The SMINC has been hosting summer camps for 6 years now, offering a range of choices based on campers’ ages, duration, and themes.

Past summer camp themes have included outdoor survival skills, learning about the power of the earth’s building elements, activities rooted in soil, air, and water, and lastly the importance of caring for our ecosystems like the prairie and forest. We even have special guests for a few of the camps, such as the Raptor Center and the 3M Wizards. 

We offer camps for preschool-aged nature lovers, elementary-school aged kids, on up to nine and older. We have one-day, two-day and four-day camps available.
