Summer Programs for all age groups are still open at Macon County Conservation District which are the mini camps for ages 1-5, X-treme Camp for kids 10-15, and Adventure Club for ages 5-12. Alysia Callison, Director of Program Services at MCCD says these events all have educational foundations that keep kids engaged through hands-on and informative activities.

Callison says there are still spaces open for children to participate in the various camps.

The Adventure Club will have the opportunity to venture inside a live cave system in Southern Illinois, says Callison.

With a wide age range the MCCD educated, Callison says that inspiring these young people to pursue a career in a nature-based career, but the focus of the camps is to provide introductory nature experiences to those who might already have that passion for wildlife and the outdoors.
