Summer Camp starts June 10, 2013!
Held at the Chico Creek Nature Center in the heart of Bidwell Park, Camp Chico Creek consists of ten one-week sessions of environmental education camp for children 5-11 years old. The program is designed to provide outdoor recreation and to foster awareness of nature in a fun, safe, and caring setting.
