ODC Network has new registration software. Camp registration will look different from previous years. When you complete a registration for a camp, your camper will be placed on a list. This list is populated on a first come, first serve basis. This does not ensure your camper has made the camp roster – they may be placed on the waitlist. You will not pay at the time of registration. We will contact you within 3 business days to let you know if your camper is enrolled in the camp or on the waitlist. There will be a 14 day window to finalize registration and pay, after which we will move on to the next camper.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience. We will communicate as quickly and efficiently as possible. Any questions or concerns can be directed to camps@outdoordiscovery.org.

Questions can be emailed to camps@outdoordiscovery.org
Do animals play hide and seek? Play and learn as we camouflage in different habitats and find which animals are blending in with trees, leaves, and flowers all over! We’ll create our own camouflage critters and practice spotting the animals that hide right before our eyes.
Turtles, frogs, and toads, oh my! There are reptiles and amphibians all over the ODC. How many can we find? We’ll leapfrog into a love of nature with hands-on animal experiences. Search for tadpoles in our ponds, and meet special, slithery snakes.
