Baba Dioum of Senegal once said, "In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught." How will we help our community conserve resources for the sake of the environment and ultimately ourselves? How many times does the news just scare us so that we can't listen without losing hope?

At Camp Long, we promote a love of nature that leads us to preserve and conserve it as something we do from the heart, not from fear alone. Come join us for some programming that will touch your spirit of adventure and wonder, and that will help you and your neighbors get to know one another.
