Meet the Humber Arboretum's Nature Camp Team

Many students from Humber College and University of Guelph-Humber help give kids an amazing experience at the Humber Arboretum's summer nature camps. Meet the team that's working hard to give kids a summer to remember, and see if a student you know is among them!

Nature Camp at the Humber Arboretum is on now, running throughout July and August. Along with providing a great experience that connects kids with nature in a fun and supportive environment, the camp is also providing leadership skill building summer employment for students in areas such as ECE, nursing, and media studies. 

See the staff photo album on Facebook and watch the video below to meet the team (and don't forget to share with any Nature Campers you know).
