2025 Conservation Day Camp
|
We are excited to announce that Darke County Conservation Day Camp is back! On June 12-13, 2024, Darke Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) will host Darke County Conservation Day Camp. This camp is for current 1st through 4th grade students. During the event, students will get outside and learn about how their daily actions affect wildlife, water, soil and the people around them. The goal of this camp is to provide an interactive and hands-on approach to learning about the environment. The two-day camp will be held at Chenoweth Trails (440 Greenville-Nashville Road, Greenville) from 9:00am-3:00pm.
In order to keep camp costs to a minimum and reduce food waste, campers will need to bring a lunch for 2024. Thank you to everyone who attended in 2024. Mark your calendars for 2025 Conservation Camp- June 11 & 12!
Registration will open in early March 2025! |

Camp Counselors
Darke Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) is seeking responsible, energetic high school and college students to serve as counselors for 2024 Conservation Day Camp at Chenoweth Trails on June 12th and 13th.

The goal of this camp is to provide students the opportunity to get outside and learn about how their daily actions affect wildlife, water, soil and the people around them.

Counselor Applications are due by April 21st at 4:00p in the Darke SWCD office.
