Nature Education Resources

While we have seen a 10% increase in camps that offer environmental education programs, we have seen a 7,875% increase in camps that specialize in environmental education programs since 2001.
 
Camps are becoming increasingly "green," and are using green facilities, recycling programs, and other conservation efforts to educate campers.
 
Many camps are "going green" by building structures with partially recycled materials. 
 
Many camps create energy-efficient buildings, and will even seal off parts of the building during the winter so that they do not have to heat the whole building, therefore conserving energy.
 
Many camps attempt to transport their campers in a more environmentally-friendly fashion.  For instance, biodiesel-fueled buses used to transport campers are gaining in popularity.
