    Summer Nature RailHawks to Kindergarten Connection

    Summer Nature Camp 2024 is happening in June only! Each day, students will learn using a variety of outdoor experiences to engage in conversation about our natural habitat in Northern Minnesota. The vast wooded acreage we have in each district is the perfect classroom to help students engage in nature while learning skills to become a successful learner. If you child loves exploring, is naturally curious, lights up with each small discovery, and doesn't mind some mud, this is the perfect setting! Please note at the Hermantown Summer Nature Camp the students will be spending a majority of the time outside and in the Proctor Summer Nature Camp the nature experience will be coming into the classroom.
