Join Cochran Mill Nature Center for a fun-filled week of educational environmental activities! Nature Day Camp is open to all children who have completed grades K - 4th. Each child will experience a combination of environmental education and outdoor recreation, while exploring topics and activities related to nature and the outdoors. Themes and activities differ each week. Campers enrolled in multiple sessions will have new and exciting experiences each week. Campers are accepted on a first come, first served basis as space is limited. Weekly themes include Endangered Species, Reptiles, Insects, Plants & Gardening, Snakes, Wetlands & Ponds, Birds, Native Americans, and Mammals.

Cochran Mill Nature Center also offers a Kindergarten Camp for 4 and 5 year-olds who will be entering kindergarten this fall. PK campers will learn about reptiles, birds, insects, native wildlife of Georgia, gardening, and more! We’ll hike, fish, canoe and have loads of fun!

Campers who have completed 5th through 8th grade and outgrown our Nature Day Camp can participate in an exciting Teen Adventure Camp program. Each day campers will leave Cochran Mill Nature Center for wilderness outings including hiking, orienteering, canoeing, and wildlife studies. On Thursday night, there will be a camp-out in the nature center field, including a campfire, cookout, and night hike!

Cochran Mill Nature Center is located just 20 minutes south of Atlanta in Palmetto, Georgia. The center's log structure is located by a pond on fifty privately-owned, heavily-wooded acres. Whether hiking, participating in an environmental education program or dropping by for a relaxing hike or day by the pond, Cochran Mill Nature Center has something for you. Visit us today!
