Nestled in the rolling hills of beautiful Chester County and surrounded by forest and field, Natural Lands' ChesLen Preserve offers the perfect setting for Camp Wonderkin - a nature based STEAM camp designed for age 5-11 and led by owner and lead teacher Cate Liguori. 

Each day of this unique camp experience will focus on various concepts of the STEAM acronym - Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math. We will be studying soil and stream, monitoring blue bird activity, building leaf robots, experimenting with flora and fauna potions, painting with trees and grasses,  and creating mixed media wild wands.  Children will also have the opportunity to contribute to a Natural Lands stewardship project.  We will spend valuable time connecting with nature each day as we practice yoga and mindfulness, take hikes and climbs and develop our team building skills with fun and energizing games and activities.
