Environmental Educational and Marine Science Programs
Programs at Camp Timpoochee bring education to life in this living laboratory, with the forest and bay providing classrooms for hands-on learning. Our marine lab houses a number of 50-250 gallon aquariums with examples of fresh and bay life. Students of all ages observe, explore, and interact with nature in an informal setting of experiential learning. Programs are designed to give participants an opportunity to learn while seining, cast netting, fishing, or snorkeling. Enjoy the bay while kayaking or snorkeling right on our shores.
Camp Timpoochee’s open-air classroom provides a unique opportunity to learn about our ecosystem and how we interact with our natural environment. 4-H Camp Timpoochee’s environmental education and marine science curriculum provides various classes centered around Camp Timpoochee’s ecology and local environment. Our curriculum also includes team building activities.
