Exciting Eco-Friendly Initiatives at Camp

I’ve noticed an inspiring trend in summer camps adopting more sustainable practices. For instance, our local camp just implemented a composting program that not only reduces waste but also teaches kids about the importance of soil health. I’m curious if others have seen similar initiatives at their camps and how they’re engaging campers in ecological awareness.

I’ve seen our camp get kids engaged by starting a garden where they learn to grow their own veggies. It’s amazing how excited they get about nurturing plants and understanding where food comes from. Plus, we tie in lesson plans about composting to show how it all connects, just like in your camp’s initiative.
