2026 Summer Camps
Effie Yeaw Nature Center's Under the Oaks Nature Day Camps give children the opportunity to experience, discover, and explore the great outdoors! EYNC day campers enjoy summer sightings along the American River, participate in outdoor activities, create lasting memories, and gain an appreciation for nature. Each day camp is focused on different nature-related themes with hands-on explorations, hikes, games, activities, and stories. This is the camp where friends and memories are made!
Check back in September for 2027 Summer Camps!

Summer Nature Camps
Many of our summer day camps (excluding the Age 5 camp) include special activities such as local off-site trips or evening programs designed to enrich day campers’ experiences and deepen their connection with nature.
While we strive to offer these opportunities whenever possible, special activities are not guaranteed and may vary depending on staff availability and program planning. Your day camp’s Naturalist (day camp leader) will contact families at least one week before day camp begins with details about any planned activities, including the location, schedule, and recommended clothing or gear.
If you have any questions or concerns about special activities, please contact us: info@sacnaturecenter.net
