About

Creek week

🌞 June Wrap-up! We exercised our creativity during Week 2, Art in Nature, where we painted garden rocks, made magical wands, and used our native animals as inspiration for paper critter crafts 🎨 During Week 3, Wildlife Investigators, Mr. Nark and his animal ambassadors stopped by to educate and inform our campers all about snakes, turtles, frogs, bugs, and toads! We even got to (gently!) pet a rock iguana 🪲 In the last week of June, Creek Week returned for the Creequel! We waded through Nancy Creeks shallow waters to cool off from the hot sun 🌊 Camp has been amazing so far! We're so excited for the last three themed weeks, and our Survival Skills Program throughout July 🏕️ Here's to another great camp season!

🌊 Creek Week Photo Dump! Summer camps off with a splash, the weather finally let up and we had cool sunny days all week. We had so much fun during Creek Week, we climbed trees and dug in the dirt, waded in the water, and enjoyed everything nature had to offer! Last week, our campers built one of the best forts we've seen so far, all of the counselors are impressed. We're also proud of our junior environmentalists who pulled invasive Asian Clams (Corbicula fluminea) out of our waters and into home aquariums. They'll make great biologists one day! This week is Art in Nature! We're excited to get our painting smocks on 🎨 Just a reminder, our discount code COUP26 and slots for Week 5 are still available! #familyeventsatlanta #getactive #breakcamps #art #bhnpaatlanta #arteventsatlanta #conservation #atlantaarts #summercamp #wildlife #atlantaparks #buckhead #bhnp #natureforall #naturepreserve #bhnpatlanta

Junior environmental stewards to the front 🙂‍↕️Our campers 'Clam Cleanup Crew' pulled out dozens of invasive freshwater clams from the creek! One of our campers found a group of clams in the shallow water, and before you could blink a clam removal squad was assembled. Some were taken back to home aquariums, some will be fed to a campers chickens, and a select few will be participating in a "Grow the Biggest Clam" Contest! The goal is to get one to at least an inch, but the largest overall wins! Big thank you to our young stewards! These campers are the biologists of the future 🌿 #bhnpatlanta #naturepreserve #atlantaevents #natureforall #georgiaparks #nature #sustainability #exploreatlanta #atlanta #georgiawildlife #exploregeorgia #getoutside #bhnp #buckhead #atlantaparks #wildlife #conservation #bhnpaatlanta #breakcamps #familyeventsatlanta #sustainable

We can't forget to thank all of the lovely volunteers who came out to clean up Nancy Creek during Sweep the Hooch last month.💚 Together, we picked up trash that had fallen into our creek due to storms and run off Roswell Road. It's impressive what we can do when we work together to keep our greenspace a safe space for wildlife and people alike!🌿🌲
