Review for Baltimore Woods Nature Center Inc, Marcellus, NY, USA
My children spent many summers here;learned to enjoy,respect and care for the environment in real ways. Both volunteered as camp counselors to extend their experiences and to help pass on the whole concept of stewardship to younger children. They are now looking at careers in environmental science in part as a result of their experiences here.

My 2 boys were introduced to enjoying and respecting nature at Baltimore Woods along with social and survival skills at their summer camp. The instruction was engaging and invited analytical critical thinking.I was impressed by highly trained staff and the inclusiveness of the camps. The annual tradition of camp with many friends, lead to volunteering as camp counselors,and a real sense of stewardship for the environment. Both are planning college in Enviornmental Science. As a family we have hiked participated in group presentations and enjoyed the interpretive center. Our lives have benefited
