Calling all explorers! Join us for one to three action-packed weeks of outdoor adventures, exploring the natural environments of our unique Pierce County parks. Hands-on activities, exploration, free play, and outdoor games will be incorporated each day to help nurture a desire for caring and respect for our natural and human-made environments.
