Annual Camp Chillisquaque day camp at Montour Preserve for 7-12 year-olds to focus on vulnerable species; registration open for limited spots

NOTE: Registration for Camp Chillisquaque 2026 sessions is now full. If we get any last-minute changes and something opens up, we will share that here.

The annual Camp Chillisquaque day camp experience for children ages 7-12 returns to the Montour Preserve via the Vernal School Environmental Education Partnership with a new theme of giving a "Voice to the Vulnerable" during the summer of 2026. 

Participants for this free program, scheduled to run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. each of five days in early July, will be learning about various sensitive wildlife species that are endangered, threatened or otherwise dwindling in numbers and what factors are impacting their numbers. 

Students will be looking at trends behind those changes and what things can be done to possibly turn things around. The camp experience will include opportunities for hands-on experiments, research and conservation as well as learning to advocate for others.
