Summer Camp
Madden Summer Science Exploration Camps are a unique summer program
dedicated to giving youth the opportunity to safely explore our natural
world and rekindle the instinctive scientist and ecologist in them!
Located at Madden Outdoor Education Center in the northwest corner of
Putnam County, our camps are designed to support and expand what children
are learning in school through in-depth educational and fun experiences.
Campers will experience many hands-on learning activities such as experiments,
observations, games, hikes and field study, all in an outdoor, enjoyable
and educational setting. Madden’s extensive resources include
educational animals, historic buildings and landmarks, as well as 160
acres of land that contain a wetland, pond, forest and fields.
Our enthusiastic staff is experienced in dynamic, hands-on, experiential,
and inquiry-based teaching and may be familiar to your child through
the programs they run in local schools throughout the school year. This
is an excellent program for parents who wish their children to have
an opportunity to both exercise their minds and enjoy the outdoors during
the summer.
