Junior Indiana Master Naturalist Programs

Just like the popular Indiana Master Naturalist Program, now your 9 – 13 year old child can become a Junior Indiana Master Naturalist at Allen County Parks. The Allen County Parks, the Stockbridge Audubon Society, Fox Island Alliance and the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, are teaming up to sponsor this years camps!

This year we will have two different camps! Each will be five days long and consist of ten different classes.

Each child must attend at least 80% of the classes (4 days) and will need to complete an additional six hours of volunteer work in order to graduate! We’ll make it simple and easy!!

The fee is only $80.00 and includes three field guides, class materials, and handouts.

A maximum of 20 children may register!
