Perennial Campers
NEW DATE – We are postponing our orientation meeting until March 10, 4pm, (DST) to avoid sleet and snow. Meet at the Rapp Co Library.
Rapp Nature Camp is happy once again to announce a series of nature education outings for adults – our “Perennial Campers!” We will have a special orientation meeting March 3, 4pm, at the Rappahannock County library, to be followed by six excursions to interesting habitats in Rappahannock and surrounding counties. Some of our topics for study and observation will be: tree identification, butterflies and dragonflies, migrating birds, and sky phenomena. Attendance at all events will be optional, and all Perennial Campers will be able to bring along a guest! Minimum age is 18, but guests may be any age if accompanied by an adult. You can download a registration form here, or call (540) 987-9530 for details.

Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire.

We are deeply thankful again this year to the Emily Jane Hilscher Passion Award Fund, the people who contribute to the fund, and the Hilscher family for their continued support both for Rapp Nature Camp and the many children for whom they have provided scholarships over the years. Emily’s passion and love of nature lives on in the wonderful and profound experiences of our campers year after year.
