Camp Hellbender: Summer Camp Series for Adults

  • Tower Grove Park - West End Picnic Site 4501 Southwest Drive St. Louis, MO, 63110 United States (map)

Join us at Tower Grove Park for another session of Camp Hellbender-no newts allowed! This summer camp is designed to let adults feel like a kid again and have some fun in the outdoors while exploring some of the best conservation areas and green spaces that the St. Louis region has to offer! At Tower Grove Park, we’ll learn tree ID and put our new skills to the test on a tree ID geocaching adventure! After lunch we’ll learn about native plants and insects and do a flower pounding craft. Please bring a water bottle and a lunch. Refrigeration will be available if needed. Sunscreen and a hat are recommended. Meet the Naturalists at the West End Picnic Site in the park (next to the New Comfort Station-4501 Southwest Dr.)

This program is part of our ongoing Camp Hellbender Series! We encourage you to participate in as many Camp days as you’d like. Registration is required for each individual camp. Campers will receive a special button to commemorate each activity they participate in throughout the summer, and all Campers will be invited back for our Closing Campfire at the end of the Summer! Please only register for one day per site.
