OMNP - Summer Camp 2025

Do you remember those days as a child attending nature camp learning about nature, exploring new areas with your friends and going over the activities of the day with your friends around the campfire at night? It’s time to return to our youth and to reconnect with nature in this way!
Join The Office of Community Engagement & Lifelong Learning along with Master Naturalist, Bob Bowles, for a summer camp version of our Ontario Master Naturalist Program at Red Bay Lodge on the Bruce Peninsula! Through exploring Alvars, Fins, Wetlands, and the Escarpment, special focus will be on orchids, ferns, birds, sedges, mosses and lichens on the Bruce Peninsula.
The Ontario Master Naturalist Certificate Program is aimed at naturalists and those dedicated to environmental stewardship, empowering them to learn and share knowledge of the natural world, and engage as stewards of their local ecosystems and resources.
Participants will receive a certificate at the end of our camp week!
