Eco-Camps

About:

Explore the wetland environment around Galveston Bay in a human-powered vessel and on nature walks!  Learn to kayak with American Canoe Association’s Quick Start Skills: rescue skills, how to handle the weather, trip planning, and more. Learn how to seine and practice different fishing techniques such as cast netting and crabbing. Each camper will get to make their own personal pizza at our outdoor classroom!
