A weeklong Environmental Camp for ages 10 to 15 offers a full lineup of hands-on nature exploration and fieldtrips.

The camp, put on by Waynesville Parks and Recreation Department, will be held July 18 through July 22 from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m.

Town of Waynesville Horticulturalist Jonathan Yates will lead the camp. Learn about soil, trees and plants while visiting waterfalls, going on hikes and exploring Western North Carolina.

All campers need to bring a rain poncho and lunch each day. The cost is $60 for members of the Waynesville Recreation Center or $72 for nonmembers. Registration is open now at the Waynesville Recreation Center.
